Infant/Young Toddlers
We pride ourselves in providing the very best care for children ages 3 months through 2 1/2 yrs. old. Your little Angel will be given individual attention as our staff ratio is 1 adult to 4 infant toddlers and an asst. teacher is in this classroom of up to 8 children. Staff will prepare and "Angel report " daily for you giving you an update on how your infant or toddler's day was ( if they slept well, if they ate and what, if they made a bowel movement, etc. ) . We will ask that you provide one pack of cloth diapers and 3 pairs of rubber pants and diaper pins. For toddlers we ask that you provide 6 pairs of trainer underwear pants with the rubber outside liner for your not yet potty trained child to help us in training them properly.
We are committed to an "Eco friendly" environment using cloth diapers only. We only use "Throw away diapers" ONLY on trips or outings (upon request with the parent providing the pampers) and for dismissal time (p/u) with you. If you prefer your child to wear a pamper or pullup to go home in please provide 5 per week and let us know what time you are p/u your child and we will change them into it for you before or at p/u time. We will prepare food for your baby the old fashioned way using our *Nutribullet Baby Complete Food making system using all fresh fruits and veggies at the consistency your infant eats in their stages of development. We can offer your supply of baby food as well if you prefer. We also offer : Individualized schedules ,Diapering log book, Toys sanitized daily, Labeled cribs (w/your child's photo and name), Firm mattresses, Potty progress incentive charts, no shoes allowed.
Older Toddlers
We continue to assist our older toddlers ages 2-3 years old in finishing up their potty training so they will be able to continue with their education program in our 3-5 yr. old preschool, pre-k and Private kindergarten program. We ask that parents send in enough extra clothing sets so that your child can be comfortable in case of an accident so, we can promptly change them out of their soiled clothing to go on with an exciting day at Angels. Our 2 yr olds have the option of wearing uniforms as well if a parent prefers. See director for more information . Our older toddler program uses Developmentally Appropriate Practices D.A.P. and we teach the children through hands on and play experiences. They will be introduced to pre - writing practice to strengthen their fine motor skills with lots of free practice and exposures to prewriting opportunities in play settings. .They will become familiar with the use of sign language daily used in the classroom and they will be taught how to respond and use early sign language skills with teachers and peers. In addition they will learn Japanese, German, Spanish and Arabic daily. Days of the week and numbers will be taught to them . They have homework 4 days a week but, no worries, it is developmentally appropriate and not more than 10-15 minutes and is a very hands on type of homework .Our program also serves meals "Family Style" encouraging children to use good manners and to connect in meaningful conversations with their classmates and teachers who also eat meals with their class. Nutritious meals and snacks are provided free of charge .
