At Learning Tree Academy, we understand that finding the right daycare in Succasunna means different things to different people. At our center, you’ll find that we’ve gone above and beyond to meet every need of both you and your child.
Starting daycare is a big transition, especially for infants. Our teachers provide your baby with a home-away-from-home environment where they can safely explore their surroundings and feel nurtured and loved. We follow your baby’s routine for sleep schedule, feeding times, diaper changes, etc., so it’s consistent with your schedule at home.
We take a thoughtful, patient approach to helping babies adjust to their new environment. Research shows that responding calmly and appropriately to a child’s attempts to connect results in less crying or acting out over time, and is more likely to help children develop a secure attachment. Paired with this approach, our small class sizes allow our teachers to build stronger relationships with each child, giving them consistency and individualized attention throughout the day.
“The evidence is clear that high-quality, early childhood care is beneficial for children,” Dr. Jillian Roberts, a child psychologist and associate professor at the University of Victoria, told Global News.
Our teachers have many years of educational and practical experience, and as part of our practice, they receive professional development training every year. This experience and continued education help them provide their classrooms with the best possible tools and skills to nurture the children in their care. Our infant program includes, but is not limited to:
Each of our programs is based on the children’s developmental stage. Our infant room is a safe environment with multiple low shelving units where babies can develop their motor and cognitive skills. We provide space where infants can begin their journey toward physical independence, including crawling, pulling themselves up, and, eventually, walking.
Throughout the day, our caregivers sing songs, read stories, and play interactive games that encourage interactions with their little friends. These daily activities help support early language development and emotional connection with others. When they are ready for a little rest, our rooms include cozy areas where they can have some downtime.
It’s important for parents to feel connected to their baby’s day and stay informed about the progress their child is making – that’s why at the Learning Tree Academy, we use the Procare App to share photos and real-time updates with you! This app allows us to share updates on your child’s feedings, sleep times, and diaper changes, and more, as well as let you view billing statements and tuition communication.
"My infant son started at learning tree academy about three months ago and I knew from the moment I toured the daycare center this was the place for my baby. Every single person who works at the LTA is warm and welcoming. They treat my son as though he is their own and he loves them so much. Each morning when I drop my son off he is welcomed with a warm heart and a smile. Denise, Marie and Fay will always hold a special place in our heart!"
"Wonderful place! My son has been going since he was around 8 months old! Very friendly staff, amazing teachers as well. My son always comes back home smiling. They do creative teaching and artwork there. I truly recommend this daycare."
"Previous to my son coming here, he was at another center. We left and came here because we weren’t receiving the care we wanted for our baby. Coming here was literally a breath of fresh air. All of the teachers truly care for each child individually and it shows through the love they show, the diligence to work with every child’s specific needs, and the cleanliness exceeding expectations! Beyond 5 stars! I finally found a place that I feel confident sending my son to every day so I can work with a peace of mind."
