Notes
- Program registration runs 12 months/ year
- Each child must have diapers, wipes, a sippy cup and a change of clothes and inside shoes that can be left in their cubby.
- All infants bring their own snack and meals for their day in labeled containers. This is in the interest of all the children being introduced to food at different ages and times.
- Infants would be graduated to toddler when a space becomes available in the toddler group. We cannot guarantee this would happen as soon as your child is of toddler age.
- The fees charged in the infant room are proportional to the staff to child ratio needed to continue to licence the room.
- Discounts cannot be given if your child becomes of toddler age while in the infant room.
Toddler Program
The Toddler Program is designed for children from 18 to 30 months of age.
The toddlers start their day with gross motor play outside in the playground during fall and spring or in the large hall during winter months. Child-directed play in the well-equipped toddler room includes various sensory activities such as puzzles, arts and crafts and playing at the water table. After their snack the toddlers have circle time with stories, songs and puppets routinely featured.
The teacher/child ratio is 1:5.
