BESIDES BASIC CARE….. All children from the infant years to early school years have basic needs that must be met on a daily basis in order for a healthy development to take place. At little house we offer nutritious home cooked meals; breakfast, AM snack, lunch, and PM snack. Another late snack if children stay until 6pm. In our basic care we: Make sure children received all the nutrition they need. Diapers are changed on an average of 5 times per day, more or less depending on the child. We support and contribute to potty training ( the trick is consistency) Hands are washed several times a day in order to keep germs out Children are kept dry and clean to the best of our efforts (remember that food, paint and other stains are witnesses to a fun filled day!) GROSS/FINE MOTOR SKILLS Gross motor skills are developed thru constant movement. In the early years we encourage movement in infants by placing them in different areas to explore in order to promote gross motor development. Infants spend time on their belly, back, on a jumpy, excersaucer, high chair to assist sitting up and eventually just floor time in order to develop crawling. Older children enjoy activities such as music and movement games. We also have outings that require us to walk to nearby playgrounds or library. 1:1 INSTRUCTION Although we conduct activities as a group there are age differences between children which require more or less stimulation. We adapt to every child’s need and when that’s not enough we spend 1:1 with each age group in order to make sure they achieve every milestone successfully. SPANISH IMMERSION We have always introduce Spanish language in our curriculum but this year we have designed a curriculum that focus on immersing the children in the language. We do this every morning for an hour.
