Infant Program

december 2024

Over the last few weeks, we’ve had a college student from the ECE program in our program. She implemented some busy boards after observing the children being so interested in the buckles of the chairs. She made one busy board with various sizes of buckles, then another with different clasps and magnets. Also on the table was a puzzle board with different clothing clasps such as buttons, zippers, and snap buttons, as well as another board with different door locks such as a sliding lock and a chain lock. As we were observing them, we noticed the focus and determination in their faces as they furrowed their brows and carefully moved their fingers. The infants have been working so hard on their fine motor skills lately, and this was the perfect activity to have them manipulate materials while stretching those muscles.
