Infants and Toddlers - Blended Age Classroom

This classroom combines infants and toddlers in one room. The primary goal of this blended classroom is to provide a nurturing and consistent environment while encouraging development.

Blended classrooms allow for an ongoing teacher-child relationship. This lets the child spend more time learning and growing the second year instead of spending time forming a relationship with a new teacher. They will also spend more time with the same class structure allowing for increased socio-emotional growth. The younger class can also learn by watching the older class, giving them peer examples to follow. 

With the infants, teachers promote the earliest stages of development—stimulating their senses and discovering the world.

For toddlers, we encourage beginning language and gross motor (large muscle) movement.

2-Year-Olds

The Two’s room is designed to meet the needs of children from age 2 through age 3. 

In the two-year-old classroom, our teachers focus on beginning social skills, continued language development, as well as labeling and experiencing their own emotions in appropriate ways. This classroom begins to experience structured large and small groups to extend learning.

3’s and 4’s - Blended Age Room with Preschool Curriculum

All children in this classroom participate in large group lessons, small group lessons, and free-choice activities. Teachers in this classroom complete weekly lesson plans focusing on development and pre-kindergarten school skills based out of Teaching Strategies GOLD, a developmentally based curriculum.

The 3-year-olds focuses on more complex social skills, self-help skills, and beginning literacy and math concepts.

The 4-year-olds will focus on pre-kindergarten skills such as letter and number identification, beginning writing skills, and more complex social skills.

This classroom teaches 3- and 4-year-olds together. Blended classrooms allow for an ongoing teacher-child relationship. This lets the child spend more time learning and growing the second year instead of spending time forming a relationship with a new teacher. They will also spend more time with the same class structure. The younger class can also learn by watching the older class, giving them peer examples to follow.
