They take part in group times for short periods of time during the day, where they will enjoy books, songs and learning activities. Art is one of their favorite times of the day and it is done on a daily basis! The teachers do a lot with their hand and foot prints as well as letting them enjoy textures with pudding and vegetable painting. Free play is also an important time of the day where they work on more social issues such as sharing, taking turns, making sure they are using their words, etc. They enjoy free play both inside and outside. The children also really enjoy going on rides in the buggy where they get to enjoy the great outdoors.
Parents provide their child with the following:
Diapers and Wipes
A Nutritious Lunch (They are learning to feed themselves so finger foods are best)
Bottles, cups, drink boxes, etc. for the day
An extra set of clothes
A crib size sheet and blanket (for full day attendance)
Each day parents will fill out an Infant/Toddler Report, telling what time their child last ate and slept as well as give them any special instructions for the day. When the parent comes to pick their child up, they will receive the form back with all of the day's information completed for them. It will tell them how and what they ate, how long they slept, what they had for snack, the activities they enjoyed, and their diapering results for the day.
We know that being separated from your child can be difficult on both of you. We encourage you to make us aware of anything we can do to assist you in making this a joyful experience.
