Infant and Toddler Programs
Starting your child’s educational journey at Basic Beginnings ensures a nurturing and supportive beginning. Let’s delve into our infant and toddler offerings, tailored to each developmental stage.
Nurturing Infant Program
Our infant program focuses on building a strong foundation for your little one in a safe, nurturing environment. We provide individualized care and stimulation to support growth through play and interaction. Our dedicated teachers engage infants with songs, stories, and sensory exploration. Infants are held, cuddled, and sung to, ensuring they feel secure and loved.
We have a two-room setup designed to cater to different mobility stages: non-mobile infants (newborn to 15 months) and mobile infants. This structure allows teachers to provide the appropriate care and development opportunities, like sitting up, crawling, and walking. By nurturing both emotional and physical development, we set your baby on a path to success.
Engaging Toddler Curriculum
Our toddler program is vibrant and full of discovery, sparking curiosity in children aged 15 to 33 months. We follow a creative curriculum that nurtures sensory-motor skills and language development. Daily activities include storytelling, music, and art that are both fun and educational.
Toddlers thrive in a setting that offers repetition and routine, which helps them gain confidence and independence. As your child grows, we adapt our approach to cater to their evolving interests and needs, fostering an engaging learning environment. By offering diverse experiences, we help your child develop important social and cognitive skills.
Preschool and Pre-K Curriculum
As children grow, their educational needs change. Our preschool and pre-K programs are designed to support this development and prepare them for future academic success.
Building Preschool Readiness
In our preschool program, children explore a world of learning through play and structured activities. We focus on pre-writing, pre-reading, and math and science exploration. Children engage in role-playing, computer time, and outdoor activities that help build large motor skills.
Our curriculum paves the way to a smooth transition to school learning. By fostering curiosity and creativity, we encourage children to express themselves, solve problems, and work collaboratively. This balanced approach prepares your child for the academic challenges ahead.
Preparing for Pre-K Success
Our pre-K program builds on preschool foundations, honing skills needed for kindergarten readiness. Children engage in reading, writing, and basic math, including addition and subtraction. We emphasize critical thinking and communication through exploration and interactive activities.
Your child will benefit from a curriculum focused on preparing them for school, ensuring they are ready to take on new challenges with confidence. By nurturing a love for learning, we set the stage for a successful transition to kindergarten.
