Day Care Programs for Infants to 4 year olds: 

6 Weeks to 12 months:
* Each child is provided his/her own crib, sheet, blanket, and cubbie.
* Teachers sing songs and read stories to encourage language acquisition, and they pass balls and play games to develop motor skills.
* Teachers spend quality time cuddling and talking to babies to instill trust and to provide a healthy learning environment.
* Teacher’s keep individual schedules for each baby so that their diaper changes, feedings, and nap timesare personalized for the infant’s needs.

12 to 18 months:
* A wide variety of toys are available for toddlers to explore. There is a reading center with books and couches. There is also a dramatic play area with kitchen, play food, dolls, and dress up clothes. Our block area has plenty of blocks, animals, and cars for imaginary play.
*At this age stacking, filling, and dumping are so exciting. We have many fine motor toys that allow for interlocking, stacking, fitting, opening and closing.
* Toddlers are encouraged to practice walking, climbing, sliding, balancing and pushing. Soft climbing pads are available to develop these gross motor skills. Push toys and riding toys are also very important to our toddler’s development.

24 to 36 Months:
* This classroom has more defined centers. The children enjoy a reading center, blocks center, dramatic play center, music, art, science center, and manipulatives.
* Potty training is a main focus in this classroom. The children are taken to the potty regularly and we patiently aid them in learning the steps needed to become independent and graduate into big girl/boy underwear.
* Two Year Olds are invited to take part in daily music and movement activities. This pairs listening skills with body awareness and daily exercise!
* Our teachers focus on emerging language skills. Singing songs, read alongs, and conversations about the weekly themes occur daily. Children are taught to use their words to communicate effectively among each other and to problem solve. Requesting items and information, expressing feelings, and opportunities to share their own stories and experiences are very important skills needed to build a solid foundation in language and communication.

2 - 4 year olds:

* Reading Center with books, puppets, and soft furniture
