Infant Care
Infant care is where it all begins. Although it might not seem like all infants do is eat, sleep, cry, and fill their diapers, they are actually learning about the world around them and absorbing a lot of information while doing it. Infants are learning the sound of their own name, how to communicate, how to sit up by themselves, and how to walk and crawl. Your infant can see and hear what is happening around them, and is learning how to communicate their needs and interests to others. Compass Child Care takes care of infants, nurturing them in a healthy and safe manner in a comfortable and safe environment. Further, we provide them with education that is suitable for their mental and physical development characteristics. Your child’s first experiences have a very important effect on their future, which is why it is vital for them to be in a place where they can thrive.

Developmental Milestone
In their first year, infants are developing skills like focusing their vision, reaching out, exploring, and learning about the things that surround them. They are also undergoing cognitive development that helps them with processes like memory, language, thinking, and reasoning. More than just babbling and making sounds, babies are listening, understanding, and remembering the names of people and things that are around them. During this time, they are also developing bonds of love and trust with their parents and caregivers.
Positively Shape Their First Experiences
Since infants are learning about the world around them for the first time, it is very important that their first experiences are positive ones. You, the parents, and us, the teachers, are very important to your baby’s growth and development. Your infants brain is affected by the care and experience that we provide — loving attention helps their brain cells connect in ways that help infants feel secure and confident, make sense of new ideas and information, and grow healthy bodies. It is important that your infant develops close bonds with you and close family members, so allow others to hold and talk with your infants while you are around so they can learn how to relate to other people. When you are unable to be with your baby, Compass Child Care can be your trusted, kind, and joyful infant caregivers. We are dedicated to providing your infant with a healthy, safe, and comfortable environment, so you can feel confident knowing that your child is in great hands.
Encouraging Movement
Our safe and nurturing environment provides your infant with more than enough room to roam around and stay active. They don’t have the same physical abilities as older kids, of course, but there is still quite a bit that they are able to do in terms of keeping their little arms and legs moving throughout the day. Crawling around on the floor allows your infant to develop strong muscles, good balance, and coordination, so eventually they will have the physical strength they need to walk. Our safe spaces are infant-proofed, and all dangerous objects are out of your baby;s reach. We want to allow your child to explore their surroundings without hearing “no” or “don’t touch”
Overcoming Challenges
In addition to learning how to move and explore their surroundings, your infant is also learning how to overcome challenges. Toys and activities that encourage some struggling can actually go a long way in developing their strengths and skills. Some activities should be slightly difficult for your baby so they have to work out a way to accomplish it, encouraging problem-solving skills and cognitive development. This can be done by giving your infant a simple box. If they are attempting to open but struggle for a little while, show them how it’s done, and then give them the box back closed so they can try it on their own.
