Our Little Beginner Learners Program
The Little Builders infant program is designed to provide a stimulating environment that engages all of a baby's senses. Our program focuses on providing a variety of baby-safe materials and activities that encourage exploration and discovery.
Our program includes:
- Sensory play: We provide a range of materials such as water, soft fabrics, baby-safe playdough, and other tactile objects for babies to touch, feel, and explore. This helps to develop their sense of touch and encourages them to experiment with different textures.
- Visual stimulation: We use bright colors, interesting patterns, and visually stimulating toys and objects to capture babies' attention and enhance their visual development.
- Auditory stimulation: We play gentle music, sing songs, and provide a variety of sound-making toys to help babies develop their sense of hearing and language skills.
- Movement and gross motor skills: We provide opportunities for babies to crawl, climb, roll, and explore different physical movements to help develop their gross motor skills.
- Social interaction: We encourage babies to interact with each other, older children, and caregivers through shared play activities, readings, songs, and games.
Additionally, infants are on their own napping and eating schedule as needed to ensure individualized care and attention to each baby's unique needs and preferences.
By providing a variety of baby-safe sensory experiences and opportunities for exploration, the Little Builders infant program helps babies to develop their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills in a safe and nurturing environment.

When Should You Introduce Your Child to Another Language?
Introducing a child to a second language at an early age can have profound impacts on their cognitive development. Did you know that infants under one year old possess the remarkable ability to distinguish between a wide variety of sounds from different languages? However, this ability diminishes as they grow older, making early exposure crucial.
Research indicates that the introduction of a second language can begin as early as in the womb. Prenatal exposure to different sounds and rhythms can set the foundation for future language learning. Moreover, bilingual children often exhibit enhanced executive function skills, which include improved problem-solving abilities, better multitasking, and superior cognitive flexibility.
The benefits of early bilingualism extend beyond cognitive advantages. Early language acquisition promotes cultural awareness and sensitivity, providing children with the tools to navigate an increasingly globalized world. Therefore, the sooner children are introduced to a second language, the more profound and long-lasting the benefits will be.
