Classrooms

• Be sure to mark all your baby’s things. The center provides a wide range of toys and equipment.
• Parents provide disposable diapers and wipes.
• Note the type of formula on the appropriate form and advise us, in writing, of any changes in formula or diet.
• Finger foods, changes in diet and snacks will be discussed with parents. Feed instructions from parents need to be in writing.
• Opened, partially used jars of food and bottles of prepared formula and milk left at the center at the end of the day must be discarded according to the Revised Code. Parents are encouraged to take it home.
• An information sheet will be kept daily on each infant. Parents may take the sheet home at the end of the day.
• Diapers are changed in strict adherence to the Revised Code 5105:2-12-69. Soiled linen is changed immediately. Clean diapers and change of clothing for each child are kept in the child’s own container. Caregivers hands are washed with soap and water after each diaper change. Babies are changed as needed.
• Each infant needs TWO changes of clothes at the center at all times. Please be sure to restock as needed.
• While awake, babies are removed from their cribs to play. Activities are age appropriate.
• We know the babies are difficult to resist, but we must ask that NO ONE pick up an infant other than their own.
• ALL BABIES SET THEIR OWN SCHEDULES AND DIAPERS ARE CHANGED AS NEEDED.
• Our Infant Room is a happy, protected place. The teachers give the infants their attention. We play, sing, dance, rock, read, talk to, and cuddle “our babies.” We rotate and vary toys. Our approach is with strong emphasis on verbal skills.

The Preschool Room is a “Family Blend” of three and four year olds. This natural combination of ages is used successfully to reduce competition, stimulate and peak interest and creativity and to foster cooperation as the children learn from and help one another.

• Our curriculum is designed to stir the imagination and interest of the children.
• Please mark all of your preschooler’s things. A complete change of clothing needs to be in the center at all times. Please restock as needed.
• Our preschool age children are too busy to worry about their clothing. We strongly suggest play clothes, shoes with non-slip soles and appropriate clothing for outside play.
• An information sheet is available for parents to review their child’s day.
• Children in preschool need to be potty trained.
• Children nap from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

• 4-5 year olds getting ready to go Kindergarten.
• We use The Letter People along with the Creative Curriculum.
• More structured PS program in the morning and a more relaxed afternoon.
• Hour-long naps.
