At Smiley Kids baby department, we offer so much more than a typical crèche. Our baby classes are carefully divided into Junior Babes and Senior Babes groups, allowing us to provide age-appropriate care and stimulation tailored to each stage of development.
What truly sets us apart is our unique baby stimulation program, developed in collaboration with an occupational therapist in 2002. This specialized program is designed to support all the important developmental milestones and needs of your precious little one during their early years.
Each baby nursery is staffed by trained caregivers who provide daily stimulation activities and baby massage sessions to assist with muscle strength, coordination, and overall physical development. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of baby care, which is why all staff receive ongoing training to stay updated with the latest childcare practices. Our favourable caregiver-to-baby ratio also ensures that every child receives the personal attention, care, and nurturing they deserve.
Nutrition is another important part of our baby care program. Our delicious baby menu has been thoughtfully planned by a dedicated nutritionist to meet your little one's nutritional needs while introducing them to wholesome, balanced meals.
In addition, our comprehensive baby development program includes detailed termly feedback on your baby's progress. Parents are kept informed about developmental milestones, strengths, and areas of focus, ensuring you remain actively involved in your child's growth and journey every step of the way.
Our babes program is thoughtfully designed to support holistic development through a variety of learning experiences that incorporate kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning modalities. By embracing these different sensory approaches, we create a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports each baby's growth and development in a well-rounded and engaging way.
Through carefully planned activities and age-appropriate stimulation, babies are encouraged to explore, discover, and learn using their senses. Our program promotes cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development while laying a strong foundation for future learning and developmental milestones.
At our Smiley Kids preschools, we prioritize daily stimulation exercises that are carefully designed to help form neural pathways for essential developmental skills. These activities support brain development during the early years, when children learn and grow most rapidly.
Through engaging, age-appropriate exercises and play-based learning experiences, we encourage the development of cognitive, physical, emotional, social, and language skills, helping children build a strong foundation for future learning and overall development.
Through the practice of daily baby massages, we aim to gently stimulate your baby's central nervous system, promoting a range of developmental and emotional benefits. Baby massage helps little ones relax, feel secure, and become more comfortable in their surroundings while creating a calm and nurturing environment.
These soothing interactions also support bonding, sensory awareness, circulation, and overall well-being, contributing positively to your baby's physical and emotional development.
We prioritize the development of grasp and fine motor skills in our babes program to help ensure that each child reaches important developmental milestones. Through carefully planned gross motor games, perceptual activities, and baby aerobics, babies are encouraged to strengthen their coordination, balance, muscle development, and overall motor skills in a fun and stimulating environment.
These engaging activities support physical development while also enhancing sensory awareness, confidence, and early learning through movement and play.
Every day, we focus on sensory development by introducing carefully planned activities tailored to each baby's needs and stage of development. Our program incorporates a variety of sensory experiences designed to stimulate the senses and support overall growth and development in a nurturing environment.
Through touch, sound, movement, visual stimulation, and exploration, babies are encouraged to discover the world around them while developing important cognitive, physical, and emotional skills. These engaging sensory activities help lay a strong foundation for future learning and development.
We provide the highest standard of care for your baby by maintaining a clean, safe, and hygienic environment at all times. Our staff make use of hand and surface sanitisers, as well as disposable gloves and face masks, to help ensure the health, safety, and well-being of every child in our care.
By following strict hygiene practices, we create a secure and nurturing environment where babies can learn, grow, and thrive with confidence.
As a Christian school and organisation, we believe in instilling Christian values from a young age, ensuring that children are exposed to the principles and teachings of being a Christian.
Gross motor development forms an important foundation for the development of early maths and literacy skills, supporting your baby's growth in a holistic way. Through movement-based activities, babies develop coordination, balance, body awareness, and spatial understanding — all of which contribute to future learning and academic readiness.
By encouraging active movement and physical exploration, we help lay the groundwork for cognitive development while supporting your baby's physical, social, and emotional well-being.
