Your Infant`s Day at Little Leprechaun

Your six month old infant has a lot to learn! Reacting to sounds, holding his bottle, and developing motor and language skills are but a few. Right now his brain is building millions of connections that are necessary for healthy, robust development. We make sure every day provides opportunities for growth and discovery.Each week our teachers build lesson plans that are
specially geared towards your infant's growing motor and cognitive abilities. These skills are further built upon as your infant graduates to the next room, where she can join with other infants who have discovered the joys of mobility. At this age, we are already practicing techniques based on ground-breaking discoveries in the areas of infant development by Piaget,Erikson, and Vygotsky*.Through the
 \"pic-15\"

use of Little Leprechaun's exclusive parent - controlled webcams, you'll have the opportunity to peek in (or check up!) on your child anytime throughout the day. Simply log-on to the Little Leprechaun Parent's Corner.
