Infants and Toddlers

 

Cubs And Teddies

6 Weeks to Crawling

Crawling to Walking

We are licensed for children starting at 6 weeks of age. There are two infant nurseries, one accommodating 6 weeks to crawling and the second for infants crawling to walking. Each room is supplied with age appropriate toys and well trained caregivers who combine professionalism with gentle nurturing care.

Our clean, well maintained nursery allows your child to take full advantage of their exploring abilities with added safety for a nice stimulating homey environment. Our adult/child ratio is 1 to 3, well above the social services recommended one/five ratio.

All feeding and sleeping will be on demand. If a parent has a specific schedule for the child, we will do our best to follow that schedule. Diapers will be checked every hour. Obvious signs of soiled diapers will be changed immediately. Every child will be held, cuddled and stimulated with voice, touch, and toys. Each child is encouraged to progress at his/her own pace.

An INS (Infant Nursery Supervisor) is on site at all times. We also schedule monthly nurse consultations to provide additional training and up to date medical information. The Nurse also monitors growth and medical health related issues of the children.

 

 

Koala And Pandas

Toddler to 3 Years

(Potty Trained)

Once your child is at least 12 months of age and begins to walk, he/she will be moved to the first toddler room. Activities are introduced to assist your child's development such as motor planning, language, and cause & effect learning. Older toddler's move into the second toddler room where they begin to explore independence. They will enthusiastically begin learning to count and distinguish colors and shapes.

In an environment filled with praise, your child will experience the early successes he/she needs to grow. When signs of readiness towards toilet training appears, we work with your child to provide patient guidance and encouragement, to make it a positive experience.

Our small group size with a 1-5 adult/child ratio assures your child a happy and secure experience. Toddlers are provided a morning and afternoon snack and a hot lunch.

Diapers are checked before all transition times (approximately every 2 hours). Obvious signs of soiled diapers are changed immediately.

Every child gets the opportunity to work with all materials provided in the classroom. Areas in the toddler room include: language, art, dress-up, blocks, large motor skills, small motor skills, eye-hand coordination, social skills and self-esteem builders. A child will not be forced to participate in activities he/she does not desire to do. Our professional caregivers interact with the children continuously during the day.
