Because children do not develop at the same rate, the infant and toddler rooms provide a combination of individual and group activities. The daily schedule for infants and toddlers is based on the specific needs of each child, giving them the opportunity to learn at their own pace. The infant and toddler programs are introduced throughout the day as time and your child’s interest permits. A flexible daily schedule is posted in both rooms, with the toddler schedule introducing a more regular routine and more choices. Weekly activities are posted as well as notes to inform you of your child’s play and learning.
The child-to-staff ratio for infants is 1 staff to 4 children.
