​"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Nelson Mandela
​INFANT Class
There shall be no specifically scheduled nap time for all infants as a group. As children begin to mature, a child’s schedule will be changed to slowly eliminate the a.m. nap and slowly integrate the child into the center schedule. Priority shall be given to the individual eating and sleep needs of the child. They will be given individual attention including lots of time for talking. Body position of non-mobile infants and their location in the room will be daily activities changed frequently. We will provide safe, open spaces for children who are crawling. Infants and toddlers will be encouraged to play with a wide variety of safe toys and objects.
Written reports will be maintained documenting what each child ate, when they slept, when they wet or soiled a diaper/potty training attempt, and their daily activities. Parents will use this report to share information with us about the child’s night and morning activities and disposition.
SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants aged one month to one year. Being a SIDS conscious facility, no blankets, toys, bumper padding or other objects will be allowed in a crib. Swaddling will be prohibited unless by doctors’ orders with a note on file. Blanket sleepers are the only approved sleeping attire for children sleeping in cribs. Parents must supply one winter and one summer blanket sleeper. Over the age of one, nuks and blankets are allowed at nap time only. If a child is having a difficult drop off, we will permit the child a short time to adjust before having to put away the nuk or blanket.
​Toddler and 3-Year Old Preschool Class
​
Preschool children will have opportunities to play and explore their surroundings. They will be given many learning experiences in a variety of developmental areas that are age appropriate. Weekly activities will include math, science, large and small muscle movement, art and literacy.
We occasionally take walks around the center. Emergency information for each child will be taken whenever the children leave the premises as well as a walkie talkie. You will be notified in advance of any field trip requiring transportation.
A schedule of daily activities is posted on a bulletin board outside each classroom. Groups of children may be combined at the beginning and at the end of the day. Activities at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day will be designed for a wide age range of children working and playing together. Activities are planned a week in advance and prepared by teachers that work directly with the children and are based on the themes chosen as well as children’s interests. Lesson plans are available for parents to review. Curriculum will celebrate cultural diversity as well as individualism in all children.
Children may engage in water play and will be closely supervised to ensure safety. The TREEHOUSE may offer wading pools in the summer and parents will be notified in advance. Children will be transitioned from activity to activity in small groups or as they complete their activity to prevent long waiting times and each classroom will offer activities for children to engage in if a waiting period would occur.
Transitional Kindergarten Class
Children will have a quiet place to study or relax, access to appropriate materials and activities, and will have ample time for large muscle activities.
Special Classes/Photography
The TREEHOUSE may offer special classes such as computer, Spanish, tutoring for school age children, and photographs of your children. Parents will be notified in advance if there will be additional fees associated with these services. Most special services will have additional fees and those charges will be explained when the classes/ photography are offered. Participation is completely voluntary.
