Infant (Turtles) - Room 

Ages 1 month - (approx.) 15 months   

                                                 

Two TURTLES..            
       
    

I am showing him how to do this!

                                                                                   


Group size: 

7 infants and 2 adults (at least one adult is a teacher)

**************************************************

The infants are all basically on their own individual schedules: are fed and put down to nap according to their schedules at home. As the infants get closer to their move into the toddler room, they will start adapting more to the toddler schedule, so the transition will be as smooth as possible.

The infants are changed every hour and a half. They also will go outside everyday, weather permitting. The older infants will have two snacks per day, just as the toddlers do, and they generally eat lunch around the same time too.

The infant teachers will enhance the infant's social, emotional, and cognitive development by providing a variety of developmentally appropriate activities such as singing  and reading to the children and making available water play as well as opportunities for climbing, walking and running.
