- Infants
Infants and toddlers thrive when they are allowed to explore and when they have caring adults who care for them in a predictable way and who cherish their accomplishments. Leaving an infant or toddler in the care of someone else is difficult for parents to do. Trust and emotional security develop when infants know their needs will be met predictably. Care givers and parents communicate to form an effective alliance to build strong relationships and routines in children’s lives. Our care givers take time to communicate with parents many ways:
Written Daily Notes
Each day our teachers prepare a daily report given to parents at the end of the day with information about activities, eating, sleeping, diapers, and just how your youngster felt that day.
Telephone Calls
Our infant and toddler teachers are available to call you directly from their rooms to consult and you may contact them by telephone if you wish.
- Everyday Conversation
-
Some of the most effective communication
occurs when you arrive in the morning
to place your child in our care and when you return to take your
child home.
- Scheduled
Meetings
Formal parent/teacher conferences are held twice a year and other scheduled meetings can be set up by appointment.
The curriculum for our infants and toddlers is based on the unique daily experience of each infant and toddler and the one-on-one interaction between each child and that child’s care giver. This includes singing, playing, learning to relate to classmates, exploring the environment around them, as well as diapering, feeding, washing and comforting.
