The older infant classroom provides a safe space for exploring the environment and the small group size allows for one-on-one time for interactions and routines. The space also allows for movement and being active throughout the day in addition to scheduled gym time and outdoor play. Caregivers model behaviors like sharing and kindness so children learn by example.
