Our Programs
Pedagogy / Curriculum
Infant
The infant room is a shoe free environment. With infants commonly on the floor, we want to provide a clean, safe, and healthy environment in this room. We practice a “shoe free” policy in this room. We ask that all adults who enter the infant room, please remove their shoes, or slip a pair of shoe covers over their shoes. We take this action to prevent outside contaminants from being brought into the room and spread onto the carpet. The infants spend much of their time exploring on the floor, so it is best that these areas be kept as clean as possible. In the infant classroom, we follow a wonderful daily flow. No matter what your babies individual sleeping and eating schedule is, we always come together to make wonderful memories. We enjoy story time together, outside walks, learning circle, sensory exploration, and creative art. We also enjoy learning lots of songs, reading wonderful stories and interacting with our friends and teachers. We love discovering different textures, shapes, and other manipulatives. We love learning about our weekly themes like shapes, colors, animals, and people. Our little ones are always nurtured, cuddled, loved, and adored.
Toddler
18 months to 36 months
In the toddler classroom, we explore anything and everything we possibly can. Our little one’s love wandering around the classroom learning through their senses. Our toddlers have a wonderful daily schedule of group time, outdoor exploration, meals, snacks, naptime, and playtime. During our group time we read books about transportation, family, and kindness. We talk about our day, how we feel and what it means to be together in our classroom. We enjoy our outdoor playtime and seeing the beautiful nature outside. Our weekly themes consist of exploring our homes, families, pets, and animals. We develop awareness of movement, body position, creativity, and imagination while engaging in music and movement. Our toddlers love to dance, sing, and play. We encourage them to explore the world around them and learn something from everything. Socialization is especially important to our toddlers as they begin to share, use their manners, and learn to take turns. In this age group we begin to count numbers and have letter recognition. We enjoy singing our daily songs to teach us about the day of the week, the month, and the year. We love diving into our art projects and seeing what we can create with an abundance of materials. We enjoy watching our teachers do exciting science projects and love to watch the students guess what will happen and see their eyes full of surprise! In this age group, in collaboration with the parents, we begin to potty train. Students routinely visit the restroom as a group. It is our goal to have every child in this class completely potty trained by 36 months. Each child must be fully potty trained before their promotion into the preschool classroom.
