The activities are created to appeal to the children’s senses and focus on all developmental domains, (cognitive, social, emotional, gross and fine motor and physical). The toddler program is set up to provide structure and routine allowing time for children to play and explore in a safe and secure environment. Daily reports are given when you pick you child up. One on one interactions are a focus to encourage the growth and development of language.

Teachers expand on children’s verbal skills using various techniques such as echo, active listening, OWL (observe, wait and listen), and repetition. Social skills and peer interaction are integrated with listening, learning, and cooperation in group activities. The staff in the toddler room guide exploration and foster problem solving and creativity. They strive for independence, but still need the comfort that structure provides. Toddlers are constantly testing limits and investigating how things work. Each day brings a new adventure and many challenges.

The infant staff are extremely professional and experienced giving each child individual attention and consistently working with them to attain each developmental milestone. Daily sheets give you an insight into the day with information including what your child ate and drank and when, activities they participated in and diaper changes. Communication between staff and parents is extremely important at this age.ĭaily conferences sometimes just long enough to establish what your child ate at home and when they were last changed are valuable information exchanges that assist the staff in planning your child’s day. We encourage parents to visit, call or “check-in” as we understand that this may be an emotional time for you and your baby. Each child has the opportunity to participate in all activities with as much or as little assistance as they require. Individual program plans provide the basis for growth and development of each infant and take into account their cognitive, social, emotional, language, gross and fine motor skills.Īs well as individual program plans, group activities are planned including songs and story periods, outdoor play time, creative art sessions and sensory play. Programming for the infants is based on each child and their current developmental stage. Infants grow and develop at such a rapid rate that sometimes it is hard to keep up.
