Infant

Content standards for the State of Ohio

Building attachments and bonding are important parts of the Ohio Infant guidelines and our staff builds a personal bond with each child. Creative learning staff follows Ohio’s Infant guidelines rigorously to help meet the standards and build the foundation for the rest of the child’s development. The teachers engage the children by doing nursery rhymes, fingerplays, lullabies, and peek-a-boo with them to help stimulate social development. The teachers also observe physical behaviors and note progression in development.

Program description

The teachers in the Infant Room spend their days providing the children with security, exploration and ways to develop a sense of personal identity. The teachers work seamlessly to provide valuable support for the children’s parents. Teachers fill out infant grams daily to update parents on the day’s happenings. The children also work on fine gross motor activities daily.

Staff ratio

Our center exceeds the state guidelines for the staff-child ratio. We keep the number of children to adults as low as possible in order to provide a better bonding environment.

• The State of Ohio Staff-Child Ratio for Infants Birth to 12 Months: 1:5 or 2:12
• Creative Learning’s Staff-Child Ratio for Infants Birth to 12 Months: 1:5 or 2:8
