•   Creative expression: Dramatic play, puppets, music/instruments, flannel board.

•   Self help skills: Assist with mealtime preparation, dress self for outdoor activity.

Play is the major component of our program. Enough time, materials and space will be provided for children to actively explore the world around them. Children will have an opportunity to use a variety of art materials, manipulative and housekeeping equipment. Children, including infants and toddlers, will go outdoors daily when weather permits. The children will be kept indoors if the weather is too cold or too hot.

(Poor weather conditions). 

I will allow children to watch television including Videos or DVDs supplied by me. Children may not bring their own Videos, or DVDs. The children will be allowed to watch television under the following situations:  While playing inside because of weather.  Small amount of time when other activities allow. Most of the time, the television will be off. Children are not required to watch television, and other activities will be available during that time for children to use.

 School age children will have a quiet place to study or relax, access to appropriate materials and activities, and will have ample time for large muscle activities and to participate in food preparation.

 Children under two years of age will have a flexible schedule, which reflects the child’s individual needs. They will be given individual attention including lots of time for talking. The body position of non-mobile infants and their location in the center will be changed frequently. I will provide safe, open spaces for children whom are creeping and crawling. Infants and toddlers will be encouraged to play with a wide variety of safe toys and objects.

 Rest or naptime will be provided for all children younger than five years of age whom are in care for more than four consecutive hours. I will launder the bedding/sleeping bag after every five uses, or sooner if necessary.  A crib or playpen is provided for each child less than one year of age. Children over the age of one year will sleep on a mat.

 We occasionally take field trips, including walks in the back yard to explore mother nature. Emergency information for each child will be taken whenever the children leave the premise. You will be notified in advance of any field trip requiring transportation.
