Every day in the Darling Ducklings room is a blend of cuddling and rocking to give a bottle and sooth to sleep, helping build blocks, play pattycake and sing songs…to teaching each child how to be social and how and older child can be gentle with our younger babies…from drinking bottles to learning to eat puffs and cheerios to solid table foods and drinking from a sippy cup. The ages in our room are 6 weeks to 18 months. Within that age range is a whole lot of learning and we enjoy them all. Making our babies feel loved and secure is our number one goal because after that all they need to worry about is learning.
Caring for infants is an incredible job, from rocking to sleep and giving bottles to singing and playing pattycake. As our babies grow from one month to the next, they learn so much. We enjoy watching them learn and grow.
