Frequently asked questions about Experience Baby
What age group is the Baby Experience Curriculum designed for?
The Baby Experience Curriculum is created for infants birth to 18 months. Each month focuses on sensory play, bonding experiences, and early developmental milestones — helping babies explore their world through touch, sound, and movement.
What’s included in each monthly curriculum kit?
Each kit includes activity cards, board books, baby toys to support sensory exploration, songs, family connection tools, and educator resources — everything you need to create meaningful learning moments throughout the day. Each activity is simple, flexible, and designed to fit naturally into your baby’s daily routines.
How far in advance should I order my curriculum kits?
We recommend ordering 3–4 weeks before your planned start date to ensure your materials arrive on time and you have plenty of time to review your monthly theme and set up your space.
Can I customize my curriculum or order extra materials?
Yes! You can adjust your order each month to meet the needs of your classroom or home program. Add extra baby packs or update your quantities at any time — Experience Curriculum grows with you and your little ones.
Do you have to have brightwheel to use Experience Curriculum?
No — brightwheel is not required to use Experience Curriculum. However, pairing the two makes it easier to track milestones, communicate with families, and document learning as babies grow and change.
