Toddler Preschool Class
Our goal is to make toddler exploration safe, fun, and an integral part of early childhood education. Toddlers love to learn and explore. They are always on the go, and always challenging their newly discovered mobility. We encourage them in a stimulating but safe environment, just right for us to protect, educate, and nurture your toddler. We follow Florida regulated curriculm approved by The Early Learning Coalition and Department of Children and Families. The toddler classroom is designed to develop social skills and to help children learn about their environment. Within the classroom there are centers where toddlers exercise and develop their creativity and imagination. Teachers plan age-appropriate language and literacy group activities, math, and science exploration time. They also encourage healthy eating habits and self-help skills. Toddlers like to have some space of their own, so each child has his or her own cot and cubby for their personal belongings. During circle time, children learn about the weather and the days of the week. Each Toddler is encouraged to participate in gross motor activities and complete an art project each day, as well as particpate in songs, story time and dramatic play.
Infant Preschool Class
Learning begins at birth. Because babies needs vary, healthy child development for infants requires individual goals and lesson plans. We focus on: Personal and social development, Language development, Physical development, Recognizing and documenting infant milestones. Daily active reporting is communicated with each parent. Every baby participates in individual gross motor activities, fine motor activities, sensorimotor play, and social play. In each classroom, babies complete art projects and experience different tactile sensations creating handprints and footprints. Teachers introduce simple sign language such as “more”, “eat”, “help”, etc. to encourage communication before verbal skills have developed.
Before/After School Care
Before and After School care is established with pick-up and drop-off fees. The children are given oppurtunities to complete homework with assistance if nessecary. They are given nourishment such as snacks and beverages after school. Upon completein of study time, the children can either engage in outdoor activities, interact with different indoor centers or watch age appropriate movies.
