Infants

 

In the infant room we enrich the life of babies with language. We listen, imitate and respond to the sounds they make, as these are the beginnings of their communication.  We provide many baby safe books to spark their interest in literature and the spoken world. We provide many tummy time opportunities without making it overwhelming for the babies. We encourage and assist with rolling over, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. These milestones are accomplished through a wide variety of playful activities.  Music and finger play are part of the daily curriculum. Babies participate and are part of most activities with toddlers, like circle time and meals.

Toddlers 

 

I mainly use Preschool Palace Curriculum Program as my lesson plan for children ages 2-5 along with supplemental activities and games. I love this program because each day strives to  promote each child’s cognitive, social, gross motor, fine motor, and other kindergarten readiness skills. In this curriculum, letters are not taught in ABC order. They are introduced in an order that allows children to make words with the letters learned. They are presented in the order suggested by Tim Seldin in "How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way." In addition, I use Morning Work Tubs from www.teacherspayteachers.com to incorporate math, vocabulary and science activities.  For toddlers and preschoolers we use Starfall and ABCmouse in the class room and our students get free access to ABCmouse at home in any device.
