Multi-Age Childcare Programs
(2.5 to 5 years)
Our Infant and Toddler program is a play based concept that focuses on the child for developmental domains. We encourage each child through play to foster his/her independence. We offer a wide range of activities such as coloring, paints, singing, counting, dance, running, and walking in both indoor and outdoor activities. We also teach the children their “self help skills” ex. putting on coats, shoes, eating with utensils, and potty readiness.
We encourage each child through play to build strong social connections through language, and social and emotional developments. Our program enjoys the outdoors. These programs encourage children to explore, create, and problem-solve while developing communication, language, and fine and gross motor skills.
Examples of Activities:
Free play: Children choose activities and explore their interests in a safe and stimulating environment.
Circle time: Gathering for songs, stories, and group activities.
Creative arts: Painting, drawing, sculpting, and other art forms.
Outdoor play: Active play, exploration of nature, and physical development.
Sensory play: Activities using different materials like sand, water, or playdough to stimulate senses.
Story time: Reading aloud and engaging children in discussions about stories.
Music and movement: Singing songs, dancing, and exploring rhythm and movement.
Preschoolers are engaged in structured activities and free play, balancing learning and exploration. Preschoolers are developing independence, so activities that encourage self-help skills are very important.
