Choosing the Right Infant Care for Your Little One
Selecting the perfect infant care centre for your little one is crucial for their early development. So, what should you look for in an ideal infant care centre?
First, ensure the centre is registered with the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA). Then, opt for trusted household brands to ensure your baby receives the best care possible.
At ELFA, our skilled and experienced infant educators attentively care for each infant and toddler. This involves providing a responsive and tender loving touch that is essential for their proper development. With ELFA, you can rest assured that your little one will be nurtured in the best environment for their optimum growth.
Customised Programmes for Holistic Growth
In addition to meeting the basic needs of growing infants, our programmes are specially designed to provide individualised, responsive care and affection. This approach allows each child to explore their own bodily capabilities while fostering various developmental areas:
- Sensory-Motor Development
A wide range of age-appropriate muscle toning activities held in a safe environment helps infants to properly develop their gross and fine motor skills.
- Language and Cognitive Growth
Cognition is the ability to think, learn and remember. Your newborn’s brain is rapidly making sense of the world through each interaction with our sensitive infant educators. At ELFA, we understand the importance of bilingualism. That is why our infant educators attentively expose our infants to both English and Mandarin. Through listening and absorbing the basic and distinct sounds of these languages, children build the foundation for speech.
- Creative Stimulation through the Senses
The five senses are engaged in a specially-designed environment that utilises colours, play tools, textures and sounds. By discovering cause-and-effect through play, your child develops a sense of creativity, inquisitiveness and exploration.
- Social and Emotional Connection
Our infant educators respond to infants in ways that foster healthy development, both socially and emotionally. Through responsive and interactive communication, infants learn various moods, gestures and emotions cues as their personality develops.
