The Role of Hummingbird Nursery in Supporting Your Child’s Early Growth
Month 1-3: Building the Foundation
In the first three months, your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb. Their senses begin to awaken, and their tiny body starts learning basic movements.
Milestones to Expect:
- Smiling by 6-8 weeks.
- Recognizing familiar voices, especially mum’s soothing tone.
- Lifting their head momentarily during tummy time.
At this stage, Hummingbird Nursery encourages a sensory-rich environment. Our expert caregivers engage infants with gentle sounds, high-contrast visuals, and skin-to-skin interaction, laying a strong foundation for their sensory and emotional development.
Month 4-6: Exploring the World
Between four to six months, babies begin to develop greater control over their bodies and start exploring their surroundings more actively.
Milestones to Expect:
- Rolling over and possibly sitting with support.
- Babbling sounds as they begin to experiment with language.
- Grasping objects and exploring them with their hands and mouth.
Hummingbird Nursery supports these developments through purposeful play. Activities like baby yoga and storytelling foster motor skills, while interaction with peers and caregivers promotes early socialization and language growth.
Month 7-9: On the Move
As they approach the middle of their first year, your baby’s mobility and curiosity will skyrocket.
Milestones to Expect:
- Crawling, scooting, or even pulling themselves up to stand.
- Responding to their name and understanding simple words like “no” or “bye-bye.”
- Engaging in peek-a-boo and other interactive games.
At this stage, we emphasize exploration in safe, stimulating spaces. Our childproofed, sensory-rich play areas encourage crawling, climbing, and problem-solving activities that build strength and coordination.
Month 10-12: Little Explorers
The final months of your baby’s first year are often the most exciting as they prepare to transition into toddlerhood.
Milestones to Expect:
- Taking their first steps or cruising along furniture.
- Saying their first words like “mama” or “dada.”
- Showing preferences for certain toys, foods, or people.
Hummingbird Nursery integrates activities that foster independence and curiosity. From baby-led weaning to music and art exploration, our tailored programs encourage self-expression while building cognitive and emotional skills.
