(6 weeks - 18 months) Comfortable, secure, interesting and responsive describe the environment and activities of our youngest children. While a predictable, soothing and sensory focus appeals to very young babies, the room incorporates their rapidly expanding horizons. Room arrangement, toys and materials, rest and eat schedules, as well as furniture and equipment are specific to your child. Loving and specialized caregivers support each child as they grow and change.
Sleep, naps, diapering, cleaning and feeding are always on individual schedules that are designed by EduKids staff and your family. They are always respectfully followed and integrated into all aspects of an infant's day.
As infants move into development that is physically stronger; allowing for mobility and more focused dexterity - and language is stimulated; with more attention to communication skills and play, the day includes art activities, cause and effect toys and specifically planned gross motor activities and props.

6:45 - 8:30 Typical arrival time for our babies. Little ones are warmly welcomed to the day at EduKids through conversation with family, sharing information about the infant's home to school transition and beginning sleep or play for the day. 8:30 - Midday Individual attention to each "Baby Duck" through play with a variety of carefully selected toys, sensory activities to stimulate their developing body awareness, song and music to sooth and stimulate language and natural rhythms, relaxing exercise and friendship building through continual attention to names, touch, talk and smiles. Midday - 4:30 Continued attention to each baby with afternoon strolls and outdoor play if weather permits. As infants enjoy floor mat time to stretch, roll, grasp and toddle, they also enjoy rides outside in their "bye-bye buggy" to see nature and other children at play. The warmth of the afternoon sees our little ones enjoying the sun and each other! 4:30 - 6:00 Typically the time we say "Good Bye" As each "Baby Duck's" family comes to the Center to get their child, we review the day and plan for the next. Children are ready to leave after quiet, calm activities at the day's end. |
