"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." Benjamin Franklin
Infants
Our infants spend their days being rocked, sung to, read to, and played with. We will always give breakfast and prepare bottles for moms in a hurry. Movement such as crawling, cruising and then walking will be encouraged in our large infant play space. Learning is constantly taking place as babies search, explore and discover their world through play.
Toddlers
Our toddlers are taught by the owner of the center, a certified teacher, Miss Danielle. We use a thematic base, comprehensive developmentally appropriate learning program. Each week we have a different theme, which is sent home ahead of time on a monthly basis. For each theme there are activities for Creative Art, Songs & Fingerplays, Language & Early Leteracy, Number & Logical Thinking, Science & Nature, Sensory Discrimination & Physical Development. Our curriculum addresses all current learning standards as recommended by NAEYC.
At Tiny Totz, we believe in an eclectic approach to learning. One in which our kids have structure, as well as free play. In structure, little ones begin to learn how to listen to a teacher, take turns and cooperate with others. Our structured time consists of circle time, story time, songs, as well as the development of fine motor skills and creativity through such things as blocks, large “legos”, playdough, and crafts. Their imagination is expanded through dress up, dolls and tool bench play. Large motor skills are developed through outdoor play. Our kids will be outside everyday that is reasonable weather wise. In addition to snack and naptime, our toddlers will have free play where they have the freedom to choose what appeals to them. Our younger toddlers tend to parallel play, which then develops into our older toddlers beginning to interact with friends. This is where turn taking and respect for others feelings begins to develop, as well as social interaction skills.
