LITTLE DIPPERS

At Little Stars, we know that the first year of life is full of wonder, growth, and discovery. Our Little Dippers Infant Program is designed to nurture each baby’s development in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. With a small class size of only 5 babies, your little one receives individualized attention, care, and support every step of the way.

Development Through Exploration

Every day in Little Dippers is filled with opportunities to learn through exploration and play. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support key developmental milestones:

  • Sensory Exploration: Babies learn about the world through touch, sight, sound, and movement. From textured toys to gentle sensory activities, we engage all their senses to build understanding and curiosity.

  • Baby Sign Language: We introduce basic signs to help babies communicate their needs, reducing frustration and promoting early language development.

  • Gross Motor Skills: From tummy time to assisted standing, rolling, and crawling, our activities encourage strength, coordination, and confidence in movement.

  • Fine Motor & Cognitive Development: Hands-on activities like grasping, stacking, and exploring objects help develop problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination.

Fun & Engaging Experiences

Learning at this age is most meaningful when it’s fun! Babies in our program enjoy:

  • Art & Creative Play: Messy, sensory-friendly art activities that let babies explore color, texture, and self-expression.

  • Books & Storytime: Early literacy experiences through reading, rhymes, and interactive storytelling.

  • Songs & Music: Singing, clapping, and rhythm activities support language, memory, and social connection.

  • Interactive Play: Gentle games, peek-a-boo, and movement activities that build relationships, social awareness, and joy.

Individualized Attention

With such a small class size, our teachers are able to observe and respond to each baby’s unique cues, preferences, and developmental pace. We build strong relationships with both babies and families, ensuring every little one feels secure, loved, and valued.

In our Little Dippers program, each baby follows their own individualized schedule, with meals, naps, and activities aligned to their unique needs and rhythms.

Our infant classroom is currently FULL.
