Daily Activities

Infant and Toddler House

Routine is important for a child’s self-confidence. For infants, the routine is loose and responsive to their fundamental sleeping, eating and comforting needs. Infants have space to roll, crawl and (eventually) walk. Caregivers help vary children’s activities and experiences, giving them time to explore as well as time to be held.

As children grow and develop into toddlers, they are introduced to a little more structure. Their daily routine will include creative play and activity time, morning and afternoon snack, lunch, nap and large muscle time, both indoors and out. We even take sensory walks in the rain and mud now and then.

Preschool House (aka “The Big House”)

The Preschool House is dedicated to age appropriate development, ultimately preparing children for kindergarten. Open-ended play areas encourage inventiveness and self-expression to increase brain functioning and build self-esteem.

Activities focus on both large and fine motor development. Your preschooler’s day may include: music, inventing with manipulatives (paint, clay, markers, tape, blocks, trains, toys, etc.), reading or dressing up for dramatics and role playing. Often, we take an inside activity, like painting, outside for a new perspective.
