Day Care in Jackson, Wyoming

During their infant years, children are the most vulnerable. They need keen eyes to constantly make sure of their safety. With us, you do not need to worry! We offer infant care. Our goal is to help in looking after your baby while you deal with other responsibilities.

Resources for Infant Educarers:

1. We communicate authentically. We speak in our authentic voices, though a bit more slowly with babies and toddlers. We use real words and talk about real things, especially things that directly pertain to our babies and that are happening now. We encourage babies to build communication skills by asking them questions, affording them plenty of time to respond, always acknowledging their communication.
2. We invite babies to actively participate in caregiving activities like diapering, meals and naptime routines and give them our full attention during these activities. This inclusion and focused attention nurtures our caregiver -child relationship, providing children the sense of security they need to be able to separate and engage in self-directed play.
3. We encourage uninterrupted, self-directed play by offering even the youngest infants free play opportunities, sensitively observing so as not to needlessly interrupt, and trusting that our child’s play choices are enough.
4. We allow children to develop motor and cognitive skills naturally according to their innate timetables. We provide and offer them free play and movement opportunities in an enriching environment, rather than teaching, restricting or otherwise interfering with these organic processes. Our role in development is primarily trust.
5. We value intrinsic motivation and inner-directedness, so we acknowledge effort and take care not to over-praise. We trust our children to know themselves better than we know them, so we allow children to lead when they play and choose enrichment activities, rather than projecting our own interests. We encourage our children’s passions and support them to fulfill their dreams.
6. We encourage children to express their emotions by openly accepting and acknowledging all emotions.
7. We recognize that children need confident, empathic leaders and clear boundaries, but not shaming, distractions, punishments or time out.
8. We allow children to problem-solve and experience and learn from age-appropriate conflicts with our support.
9. We understand the power of our modeling and recognize that our children are learning from us through our every word and action about love, relationships, empathy, generosity, gratitude, patience, tolerance, kindness, honesty and respect. Most profoundly, children are learning about themselves, their abilities and their worth, their place in our hearts and in the world.
