"Building foundations to last a lifetime."
One-Year-Old Program
Our one-year-old program is a toddler-friendly environment in which most children are having their first experience away from parents. We strive to make this as easy as possible by immersing the children quickly into a morning routine. Our daily activities are as follows:
When the children first arrive, we have playtime in which they learn to play cooperatively with each other. Adjusting socially and emotionally is an important part of your child’s preschool experience.
Next, the children enjoy our “bye bye buggy” (stroller which seats six children) and look forward to the daily outings. We walk around outside on nice days and stroll inside on rainy or cold days.
During manipulative playtime, we introduce children to new textures. Some of our hands-on items include painting with pudding, whipped cream and finger paint.
Each day, you will need to provide a thermos of water to have with our snack.
​
Books expand children’s language abilities and we feel it is an important part of our daily routine. We also enjoy singing many different songs, using bells to move along with the rhythm of the music.
We have a wonderful playground full of sand! We love outdoor play time!

Other Notes
Cubbies
You may keep diapers, changes of clothes, and anything else your child may need in their cubby. Our teacher will remind you to check to ensure you have appropriate clothing for the changing weather.
Supplies
We will ask for wipes, diapers and snacks a few times a year when supplies are running low.
Illness
It is difficult to know when to keep a toddler home. Just keep in mind that most children at this age are constantly putting things in their mouths, and as hard as we try to keep the toys clean, it is impossible to catch them all! If your child has a lot of congestion, slight fever, or are just not themselves, we kindly ask that you keep them home.
