One of my tips would be to have a classroom that engages the five senses of the child. For example incorporating colorful and visually stimulating toys and classroom decor to capture their sense of sight. To engage their sense of touch, provide toys and surfaces that have interesting textures for them to touch. To engage their sense of sound, sing songs for them while they are in your care. Baby shark is a favored by small children! When it comes to taste and smell, meal time can help in incorporating these senses.

Engage in activities that center around the child’s senses. This can include for an infant to play with a texture board with different materials and objects that make noise. This can provide diverse sensory stimulation for infants.
