In infant classrooms in the day care setting, it is incredibly hard to create lesson plans and strategies. There are few lessons that infant teachers can complete as planned. The infant classroom is the one room where spontaneity is the key to success. However, there are a few infant class lessons that are easy to produce instantly and are enormous fun for both the students and the teachers.

 Infant Classroom Lesson Plans: Sight and Sound Senses

An infant classroom needs lesson plans like any other daycare room. This lesson focuses on playing with the baby's sight and sound senses.
Creating a lesson plan that contributes to the development of infants is an indispensable mission of a teacher in a daycare setting. Creative lessons that provide varied and thought-provoking observations of child behavior are helpful in furthering the child’s necessary cognitive and physical educational progress as well as continuously teaching the daycare provider better ways to teach.

 Infant Classroom Lesson Plans: Smell, Touch, and Taste Senses

An infant classroom needs lesson plans like any other daycare room. This lesson focuses on playing with the baby's smell, touch, and taste senses.
Teachers in a daycare setting have a difficult task of creating lesson plans that develop the children cognitively, socially, and emotionally. The infant daycare teacher has the hardest task in creating lessons, as their day is dependent upon the children’s actions and needs rather than making the children follow a set schedule.

The inactive infant is often the cute one that people look at, coo over and shield from overly fascinated mobile babies. However, that child is not frequently the focus of the classroom lessons.
Playing with the baby is, of course, the paramount way to engage the child’s developing mind, but the baby’s body needs special attention as well.
