Infant Room
We continue to assess the development of Infants and Toddlers using the Ages & Stages Questionnaire assessment tool. Our program is part of the "Watch Me Grow RI" Network which provides training and technical assistance to child care providers on developmental screening and related topics.
MILESTONES:
Sam is on cereal, and loves to eat and is growing by
leaps and bounds.
Liam is now eating finger foods and is enjoying every
bite. He is smiling a lot to show off his new teeth and
is beginning creep. We suspect he is going to skip
crawling and just start running. Have fun Mom &
Dad.
Ben is crawling on all fours, has four teeth and enjoys
every meal. He always has a smile on his face and
love to show off his new "fangs".
Two favorite songs the babies love to dance to are
"The Chicken Dance" and "If You're Happy and You
Know It".
TODDLER ROOM
Our Toddler group love to dance, sing songs and play
musical instruments. Their favorite characters are
Elmo and Dora. We have a variety of themes
planned for this winter.
Congratulations to Cameron and Charley who have
both transitioned to the Preschool classroom.
PRESCHOOL ROOM
Our preschool curriculum is based on The Rhode
Island Early Learning Standards. One of the
standards that the preschool classroom will focus
on this quarter is Literacy. The Learning Goal will be
Book Knowledge and Appreciation.
Here are some suggestions when reading to your
child:
Introduce your child to different kinds of books to see which are most interesting and let your child choose a book to read.
As you read, change voices for the different characters.
After reading a few pages, wonder out loud about the characters and the story. Ask "What do you think will happen next?"
After reading the book, talk about the story and have your child retell the story to someone else.
