INFANT/TODDLER CLASSROOM

Our infant/toddler program
has been designed to meet the needs of young children. We work closely with parents and guardians to meet the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of the children.
The primary objective for our infants and toddles is to build close, secure relationships with one or more caregivers. This will provide a foundation of confidence and trust.
Our curriculum includes reading, singing, music, and sensory and outdoor experiences. The environment is designed to encourage children to explore, play, learn, and develop safely.
All materials and activities are age-appropriate, and which includes indoor and outdoor time.
We follow the individual pattern and needs of infant nap and meal times. Toddlers often eat and nap at the same time each day.
EDCDC uses a chart to record and list what your child ate, when he/she slept, and when diaper changes occurred as well as events and activities. The results will be sent to the parents daily.
