A program for Infants

Exploring the classroom freely gives children the opportunity to do, see, feel, taste, touch, put together, take apart, wonder, discover, invent, accomplish and communicate all that they find. Ideas can grow from ideas. There is no limit to the learning that can take place.

In the morning, the body and the mind need enough energy to function properly. This energy is provided by breakfast. During the sleep hours, your child is not eating anything. Therefore, the energy reserves of the body are substantially low after they wake up. Breakfast gives children the much-needed nutrition after a gap of almost ten to twelve hours.

Children participate in learning opportunities based on interest and developmental needs. Some choose to participate in groups where social skills are enhanced, while others opt for individual activities and develop focus and concentration.

Being outside is an exciting sensory experience for all children. The changing nature of outdoors makes it an incredibly stimulating and multi-sensory place to be. This is important as children learn and gain experience through all their senses. From developing motor skills by crawling, walking, running, and jumping to helping your child sleep better at night, outdoor play is a regular part of our daily curriculum.

Circle time is a great way for children to get a sense of community with others, to enhance their social skills, and to improve their attention span. During circle time, children listen to stories, learn who is present and absent, discuss daily schedules, talk about special happenings in their lives, find out about new materials in the classroom, and perhaps, sing songs. When children have opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas in a safe, encouraging environment, they begin to learn they are valued, capable, and important members of the group.

The benefits to healthy eating are not taken for granted in our school. Our specially trained chef is not only in charge of the menu but is also an important part of our school staff. Our chef will make sure your child has a healthy menu tailored for your child while accommodating medical needs.

Sleep is a major requirement for good health, and for young kids to get enough of it, some daytime sleep is usually needed. Crucial physical and mental development occurs in early childhood, and naps provide much-needed downtime for growth and rejuvenation. Naps also help keep children from becoming overtired, which not only takes a toll on their moods but may also make it harder for them to fall asleep at night.

Gross motor activities involve movement activities that encourage whole body development. This includes activities such as crawling, walking, baby aerobics, yoga, etc.

An afternoon nutritious snack provides a boost of energy to help the children pursue new afternoon discoveries. Along with proper nourishment, the snack time is an opportunity for the child to grow in independence as they learn to serve and clean up after themselves.

Children explore the classroom during center play. Classroom activities may be freely chosen, or teachers may guide children to specific activities to support growth based on teacher observation.

At the end of the day, story time provides a calming environment as children begin to go home for the day. Children are loved and reassured and items from the day are returned to order in preparation for the next big day of preschool.
