Infant Lesson Plan Templates
An infant room does not have lessons; it has diapering, feeding, floor time, books, songs and fresh air, each one a chance to talk, touch and respond. The weekly plan here has those as its rows and no time column, because each baby keeps their own schedule. The individual child plan is the page that goes in the portfolio.

About the infant templates
Infant planning is the search where free templates fail hardest: most are a preschool grid with the word infant typed at the top. The posted weekly plan here is organized the way infant caregivers actually work — by routine and experience. Diapering and care talk is a row because it is where most one-to-one language happens; tummy time and floor play, sensory, language and books, music and movement, outdoor or stroller time and nap each get a row; feeding is a row with no times because feeding is on cue. Two wide boxes underneath hold the individual plans in brief and what families have told you.
The individual child plan is the second half, kept in the child's file rather than posted. It asks what the child is doing and interested in right now, then for each developmental area what you are supporting and what you will offer, then family input and next steps with a review date. It is the evidence of individualization that accreditation visits and Early Head Start monitors look for, in one page a primary caregiver can keep current.
