Welcome to the Infant Room
Teachers
Ms. Dana
I'm a co op student at Muskego High School. I work in the Infant room. When I graduate, I want to go to school for Early Childhood Education. In my free time, I play on the girls golf team, and spend time with friends/family. Stop by and say hello!
Ms. Kerry
I have been at Learning Edge Childcare & Preschool since April of 2002. I have been working with children since 1998 and I love working with the infants. I love cuddling with them, reading stories, and singing songs. I look forward to their smiles every time I teach them sometime new.
Things you will Need for the First Day!
Please make sure you have:
- Pre-made bottles
- Nuk (if needed)
- Two sets of extra clothes
- Supply of diapers, wipes, and diaper cream
- Sunscreen
- Paperwork completed (You will need to update intake forms every 3 months and keep up with physicals every 6 months)
- SAVE any plastic grocery bags
We supply blankets, bibs, burp rags, and crib sheets so there is no need to bring those things. (But you are more than welcome to bring them from home if you want.)

A Day in the Infant Room
We have a lot of fun in the Infant Room. We are always busy with singing songs, reading books, doing art projects, and most important, reaching individual goals for each child such as rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and clapping hands. There is always interaction between your child and their teachers!
We also love to go outside on those nice summer days when the weather is less than 90 degrees. We love buggy rides or just sitting on the playground blowing bubbles or listening to songs and stories. So please make sure your child has sunscreen and a hat. We even go out on cold days if the weather is 20 degrees or above so for those cold months please have a winter hat, coat, and mittens.
All of the babies are on their own sleeping and eating schedule! Please be sure to have all jar food and bottles labeled with your child's name. See 'Daily Schedule' if your child is on table foods.
Fun Games and Ideas

Bright colorful patterns on the walls, hanging from the ceiling, and above the cribs. |
| Tummy Time: |
Place bright colored objects in front of baby and encourage them to reach for it. |
| Reflections: |
Place a flexible mirror in front of baby so they can see themselves. |

While sitting baby up or laying them on their tummy, roll a ball to them and encourage them to roll it back. |

Read to baby and point out the different objects in the book. Practice ABC chart. Sing songs and finger plays. |
