Infant Curriculum (Ages 6 Weeks- 18 Months)
To keep you connected during the infant years, we offer an interactive service called KidReports. KidReports is an online tool that Steadfast Academy utilizes to help you stay connected on how your child’s day is developing in real time. You will be able to log on your phone to see when they had their diaper changed, when and what they’ve eaten, when they took a nap, and more. KidReports, also allows us to share pictures of your child with you and allows you to communicate with your child’s teachers.
Along with communication, Steadfast Academy is devoted to early care and education of each child.
