Curriculum
The programs incorporate a different topic each month. The curriculum is coordinated specifically for their age. A detailed curriculum is posted in the classroom each month by the teacher. Repetition is a very important part of learning for this age group. Children have at least two art projects each day to help develop small muscle skills and creativity.
INFANT PROGRAM
Recent research on infant brain development emphasizes the importance of interaction with the caregiver. Our teachers sing songs and read stories to encourage language development. Parents work with their baby’s teacher to set their child’s schedule to ensure consistency between home and Kid’s World. Every day each child is sent home with a daily sheet detailing everything that occurred that day including feedings, nap times, and diaper changes. The program is also aimed at helping the child learn the skills needed for the next step in their life. We focus on skills such as sitting, crawling, walking, holding his/her bottle, self-feeding, and saying basic words. Floor time is another important part of the infant program. It helps the child develop large muscle skills, interact with his/her surroundings, and become more independent. Love and nurturing are a huge part of infant care. They are held and cuddled as much as possible.
TODDLER PROGRAM
We provide an environment that is surrounded by new challenges and the teacher is there to encourage their eager investigation. Activities include; art, circle time, finger play, songs, and stories to help develop the toddler’s language and fine motor skills. We use a thematic approach to our curriculum which helps the children expand their vocabulary. The teacher’s careful observation of each child encourages and supports the child’s social skills. The toddlers outside playground is covered by a tarp to ensure protection from the sun. This allows them to enjoy themselves outside while developing large motor skills. We provide monthly lesson plans, daily sheets, and monthly newsletters to our parents to keep them informed of their child’s daily activities.
TWO YEAR OLD PROGRAM
We work with the child on toileting, dressing, hand washing, and taking care of the environment. A language rich setting helps the children begin to link written words to objects. Colors, shapes, numbers, and letter recognition are included in this strong developmentally appropriate program. Art and music are included every day. Parents receive daily reports, lesson plans, and monthly newsletters to keep them informed and involved in their child’s day.
THREE & FOUR YEAR OLD PROGRAMS
We realize that as children get older their interests change and they require a program that gives them the freedom of choice. We offer a space that they can do their homework and participate in a variety of active activities such as the outdoors, arts and crafts, reading, and theater.
