Infant care involves placing an infant on their stomach while they are awake and supervised. It is an opportunity for babies to explore their environment from a different perspective and build the foundational skills needed for physical development.
Childcare sensory play is a hands-on and interactive approach to learning and exploration that engages children’s senses—sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell—to promote cognitive, social, and physical development. Sensory play activities are designed to stimulate the senses and encourage children to use their imaginations, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Music and movement activities involve incorporating music, songs, and movement into the daily routines and curriculum for young children. These activities are not only fun and enjoyable for children but also offer numerous developmental benefits such as physical, cognitive, language and social skills develepment.
In promoting early literacy skills, language development, and a love for books and stories in young children, reading and storytelling activities play a vital role as it offers numerous benefits for children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development.
