Infant schedules shall be flexible to meet the individual needs of these young children, eating, sleeping as needed. Outside Time: There are often times that we spend more time outside than what is allotted in the above schedule. I believe that children learn so much from being active outdoors. We go outside EVERY day, so please ensure that your child has appropriate gear each day. There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear! GYMNASTICS: We offer a creative movement/gymnastics class every other week year round. This class is taught by Corey Camerlengo (an instructor at Gymstar) There is an additional $10.00 per class that is due at the beginning of each month. These payments are made out to C.C. Movement. We have an ADORABLE end of the year show is June for parents to see what we have been doing throughout the year. ** Due to the current COVID-19 situation, gymnastics classes are on hold until further notice. MUSIC: We offer a music class 2 times per month with the amazing Linda Bassick, (Steady Betty, Mellow Yellow) The cost of the music class is $12.00 per month. You can pay cash or a check directly to Linda. **Due to the current COVID-19 situation music classes are on hold until further notice. Parent Food Co-Op: Parents have divided the week and have been providing 2 snacks and lunch for all six children one time per week. ** Due to the current COVID-19 situation children shall pack their own food (2 snacks and a lunch) Food should be prepared and ready to eat. Lunchboxes should have icepacks to keep food cool throughout the day. Children should also pack their own utensils to be sent home for cleaning daily. Communication with Families: Communication is essential in fostering a healthy, strong relationship.. I believe that both parents and caregivers have a large stake in every childs success. Within my program I like to create an environment that parents are a welcome part of the program. I firmly believe in open communication with all parents and respect confidentiality. I welcome parents to become involved with the program by sharing ideas and suggestions in regards to modifying or enhancing the curriculum. Parents are always welcome to participate in activities and are always welcome in my home. Parent education is important and I encourage you to ask questions regarding your childs activity, nutrition, growth and development. I provide a variety of parent resources. A parent board is posted in the mudroom and will contain important information regarding any child care information as well as parenting and family resources. My program is not a place to just drop your child off for the day, I purposefully want to be an extension of each childs family and work together to help create a happy, healthy, joyful childhood.
