Baby Group Time
During the day, when babies are up, awake, happy and being social we will place
the babies near each other for a baby group time experience.
This will be a fun learning experience for the babies to see each other as we
interact with the baby’s using this week’s theme with puppets, pictures or stuffed animals, reading a story, acting out a finger play or singing songs.
Outdoor Play
Outdoor play time for a young baby may consist of a walk in the carriage, sitting in teachers lap while hearing songs or stories, rocking in a chair with teacher or
gentle pushes in a baby swing (when baby can sit up unattended).
Older babies outside time may consist of (same as above) or sitting on a playpen pad or a thick blanket outside with age appropriate toys.
Discovery Baskets
Older babies will have fun each day exploring the discovery baskets which contain materials to explore at their own pace. These items will be fun sensory items of different shapes and textures.
