Infants
To Approximately 8 months old
The
staff at Toddlers 'N Tots know that your baby needs a safe and clean environment.
They show their care by rocking, holding, playing with, singing and talking
to your baby. Your infant will have all the tender-loving care and nuturing
that is so vital for his or her comfort and contentment.
Small
Ones - Approximately 8 months to 1 year old
Baby's
First Moves for children up to 1 yr. old. This creative program
is a positive, nurturing experience, and is designed to provide safe,
harmonious surroundings for your small one. We provide an environment
that will aid in stimulating body awareness as well as developing motor
skills.
Toddlers
1 to 2 Years
The Toddler Program is
designed with an emphasis on "creative activities," with an
introduction to arts & crafts. Developmental activities are introduced,
with an emphasis on exploration. With supervision, the children enjoy
visiting the various barn animals located at Toddlers 'N Tots. They parade
to music with animal-shaped instruments in their make believe marching
band. This unique program helps to develop and stimulate physical coordination.
These activities are
just one exciting part of the Toddler Program. The programs are carefully
balanced to encourage interaction among children, and include activities
such as active playtime, table top toys, learning to share, and expanding
their imagination with books.
Tikes
2 to 3 Years
The Tikes curriculum introduces colors, shapes and numbers. Show and Tell is one of the childrens'
favorite activities because it is a time when they can express themselves.
Other activities include pasting, coloring, and use of manipulatives.
All of these activities help young children to obtain confidence, independence,
social skills and motor skills. Self-reliance and independence are always
stressed. This age group is introduced to toilet training. The Tikes participate
in a Holiday Presentation as well as a Spring Program in June for their
families.
Tots
/ Pre-Kindergarten 3 to 5 Years
Our Tots (3 - 4 year olds) / Pre-Kindergaten (4 - 5 year olds) curriculum
consists of a full day or half day (see Nursery School Program) and fosters
an eagerness for learning as we encourage the necessary skills for primary
school, such as cutting, pasting, tracing, writing, social studies, health,
safety, language and literature. The individual learning centers include
math, reading, science, and computer readiness, helping each child to
meet his or her potential and excel at their own individual pace. They
also participate in a variety of fun activities, such as the art center,
the grocery/housekeeping center, and the dramatic play (dress up) center,
where their imaginations have no limits. In addition to the learning centers, the children enjoy lots of fun activities.
Our half day Nursery School Program consists of a full academic
curriculum and learning centers similar to the Full day Tots / Pre-Kindergarten
programs. The Tots Class (3 year olds) is held on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, and the Pre-Kindergarten Class (4 year olds) is held
on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. The hours for both classes are 9:00
am to 12 noon. The above programs are held in their own classrooms, separate
from the Full day Tots / Pre-Kindergarten Classes. In addition to the
learning centers, the children enjoy lots of time for fun activites.
