Your infant will be in a safe and comfortable environment designed to stimulate and amuse your child at all levels of development. The infant program is flexible and accommodating to each child’s schedule and needs, with activities based on the children’s interests. The infants are co-constructors in developing intellectually by exploring and experimenting the environment around them. The infants will be encouraged to use thinking skills and language throughout the day. Each child’s care, play, learning, and development are nurtured as teachers work within a practice of relationships, appreciating family, social, and cultural practices and traditions and embracing a strong capable image of the child, as a mighty learner and citizen. Children are supported to develop self-regulation skills- the ability to adapt their behaviour, attention, emotions, and thoughts in response to what is going on around them (sitting still when appropriate, the ability to defer reward and positive self-talk are a few examples). Children are supported to express pro-social behaviour- voluntarily choosing behaviours that help and benefit others, such as sharing and cooperation. During circle time, we sing songs and read age-appropriate books with each other. When weather permits, we’ll go play outside in our large age-appropriate play yard. The large, bright playroom includes colorful climbing mats, a cozy story area, and an assortment of age-appropriate toys.
