6 weeks - 2 years of age Infants and toddlers begin to develop an understanding of the world around them through their senses and physical actions. To develop these skills our infant/toddler program is designed with various age appropriate experiences and exercises which will help your child develop at his/her own speed. These areas include sensorimotor, psychomotor, language development, cognitive development, large and small motor skills, and social and emotional development. The children are spoken, sung and read to frequently, have many different objects in their environment to see and touch and have many opportunities to develop their fine and gross motor skills. Throughout each day we practice on reaching, grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, climbing, throwing, catching, kicking, cooing and talking; whichever developmental stage your child happens to be in at the time. For a younger child still taking three naps a day, a third nap can be incorporated.

2-3 years of age-Two-year old’s are beginning to develop social skills, enlarge their vocabulary, and test their independence. To develop these skills, our program for this age group offers a group experience which recognizes the special needs of each child. The children have many opportunities to explore and learn about the environment. The children are spoken to frequently and are encouraged to participate daily in individual and group conversations. Toilet training, dealing with frustration, encouraging self-help skills and providing successful age appropriate experiences to enhance the child's self-concept is part of the two-year-old curriculum.

3-5 years of age-Our preschool program offers a balance of free play and structured individual and group activities which gives the children a well-balanced preschool education. At this age, children are developing more intimate peer relationships, asking questions about the world around them and developing self-discipline and control. To enhance these skills our program offers activities and experiences in the areas of science, math, beginning reading and writing experiences, large and small motor skills, dramatic play, block play, creative and movement activities. Each child is viewed as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth and development. Different levels of ability, development and learning styles are considered when developing appropriate activities for their class. Children are allowed to select many of their own activities from among a variety of learning areas prepared by the Director. Our daycare continues to enhance reading and writing skills to prepare each child for kindergarten. Children are provided many opportunities to develop social skills such as cooperating, helping, negotiating and talking with each other to solve problems. There will be small graduation at the end of the year to congratulate all the hard work the children in preschool that will be transitioning to kindergarten, have accomplished.

5 -12 years of age-As children enter elementary school, they are beginning to develop close relationships in peer groups, can communicate more effectively with peers and adults and are better able to problem solve and use abstract thinking. To develop these skills, we offer a very small and personalized before and after school program to balance with the more structured public setting. Children in this program are provided with a large variety of stimulating hands-on learning experiences to suit their needs. Kindergarten - My daycare is committed to preparing your child for the kindergarten transition. We bridge the gap between preschool and kindergarten by providing your child with the necessary skills to succeed such as; · taking care of personal needs · developing small muscle coordination needed to hold and write with a pencil · large motor skills (skipping, running, bouncing balls) -expressing their feelings with words and can regulate own behavior We support learning at home by providing parents with activity ideas that they can do with their child such as; · reading with them each day · providing crayons for drawing and scissors for cutting · encouraging healthy eating and good sleep habits · providing small manipulatives (Legos, markers) to support the development of fine motor skills.
