Infant/Toddler Program
Infants learn through all their senses and daily expand their ability to hold things, sit up and become mobile. The infant classroom is a safe and clean environment in which they can explore. There are varied toys to manipulate, materials and projects to explore different textures, books to look at and a space that both visually stimulates and allows mobility. Outdoor time allows infants to experience changes in climate, natural textures and new physical challenges. Teachers recognize the importance of language experiences and build on an infant’s babbling and early experiments with words by describing, explaining, singing songs and reading books.
Toddlers continue to learn through all their senses. They are more agile and delight in the new skills of walking, running and climbing. They can manipulate small toys and tools and are beginning to express themselves with words. They are just learning to share, and at the Center are able to explore freely in a safe, clean environment that is designed to build upon their growing abilities. Materials for dramatic play, books, building, open-ended projects that involve different textures and mediums are all part of the curriculum. Teachers continue to expand on children’s language as they describe, give instruction, explain, talk, sing and read with children throughout the day. Teachers are happy to support any toilet training efforts a child is making at home by mirroring them at school.
