Lesson Plans
What Our Lesson Plans Include
Where Every Day Is Filled with Love, Learning, and Discovery
At Rebecca’s Learning Center, our Infant and Toddler lesson plans are play-based and purposeful—filled with laughter, music, and hands-on exploration. Each activity is thoughtfully designed to inspire growth, curiosity, and confidence in a warm, home-like environment.
Infants spend time throughout the day engaged in Tummy Time, encouraging physical development, strength, and coordination.
Guided by Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP), our teachers nurture every milestone, helping children learn and thrive at their own pace. Each day blends creativity, sensory play, language, and movement to promote a balance of learning and joy.
At RLC, every day is more than care — it’s the start of a lifelong love for learning. 💕
All activities are aligned with developmentally appropriate milestones, based on medically suggested growth and learning guidelines.
Daily Logs

Our logs document:
-
Feeding: Times, amounts, and what your little one ate

Diaper Changes: Time and type
-
Milestones: New skills or achievements
-
Exciting Discoveries: Special moments your baby experienced that day
