Infant & Toddler Program
We create Infant curriculum in house to meet their unique learning needs. Babies get to color, paint, do art projects, and explore music just like the bigger kids! We find learning opportunities in all activities we do.
We use Mother Goose Time Preschool Curriculum for our Toddler Program.
Learning life skills is a big part of the infant/toddler day as well. For example, a six month old might be working on holding his or her own bottle and beginning to eat finger foods. Older toddlers might begin learning to use forks, and how to put on their own coats and shoes. We feel strongly that empowering children by teaching life skills will give them the confidence they need in the classroom and throughout their lives.
Preschool Program
Mother Goose Time creatively weaves together art projects, music, storytelling, math games and science experiments around a monthly theme.
Monthly themes Include:
Jungle Safari • Friends and Feelings • Sights and Sounds of Winter
While exploring these themes, children are exposed to and learn about language arts, science, math, creative development, socio-emotional, physical development.
We also base many of our preschool activities to meet the State's Common Core Standards, so the children are prepared for Kindergarten and beyond.
We use a colaborative approach when it comes to our preschool curriculum. Not only do we use a formal, professionally prepared curriculum, but we also create curriculum based on the interests of the children (emergent learning). We feel that is important for the children to be exposed to many different learning styles, so that we are able to find the best medium for each individual child.
