We support our younger and older toddlers in becoming independent, and we assess what your child needs in their development: getting their own fruit, helping to set the table, serving their own food, and grabbing a dustpan and brush to clean something up. Our older toddlers start their morning with “circle time,” to prepare them for elementary school (where this will be a regular feature).
We offer a yard for younger and older toddlers and a separate section where our youngest charges can run around as they please and safely enjoy the fresh air. Children are also encouraged to help with planting and caring for all the vegetables and flowers in our vegetable garden. We sow, tend to, and harvest cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, and raspberries (although harvesting these has been virtually impossible, as they’re the kids’ favorites, and once they get their hands on them...).
The staff members at our in-house afterschool daycare program prepare healthy snacks and distribute them among our children. Being multitalented, they even provide story time to our infant group!
