Infants:
Our infant program will provide your baby with loads of love and attention in a very nurturing environment. We will have a 1 to 3 ratio. Each room is designed so that your baby can learn to sit, roll, crawl, pull themselves up, and walk. Staff members will interact with each baby by talking, singing, and holding them while allowing them to eat, sleep, and explore on their own individual schedule. We will provide each infant with their own crib and linens. Cribs are for sleeping only. The youngest infants are held for bottle feeding to promote bonding and a sense of security. You will need to provide all mixed formulas in their own bottles. Older infants will be fed in a high chair and given foods that you have notified us in writing that they have started to eat. Each family will need to provide adequate diapers and wipes at all times. A daily report will be sent home sharing with you the events of your child’s day. Rest assured your baby will feel safe, secure and happy throughout their day.
Toddlers:
Our toddler program will allow your child to explore in exciting, loving, and supervised surroundings. They will be busy every day with stories, games, music, art, toys, activities that work on colors and shapes, small and large motor skills indoor and out. Their day will be routine, but action-packed while meeting their emotional needs in a safe and loving environment. Each teacher designs her lesson plan to fit the needs of their children in her classroom, while still providing a warm loving environment that is emotionally satisfying. Lesson plans incorporate all the development areas: language, cognitive, small and large muscles, social and emotional. Toddlers will be given foods to promote self-feeding. As your child’s food needs change, please advise us in writing by completing the daily record of your child. A daily report will be sent home sharing with you the events of your child’s day. Graduation to our preschool programs will take place when your child has been toilet trained, their verbal skills developed, they are able to sit in a group situation for short periods of time and are able to follow directions.
