Areas Of Development
Unlock the world of discovery and growth for your infant with our holistic curriculum, meticulously designed based on the Georgia Early Learning Standards. Tailored for children aged 6 months to 1 year, this curriculum emphasizes development across multiple domains, ensuring that your child’s early experiences foster a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Language and Literacy Development
Our curriculum prioritizes early language skills through engaging activities. By introducing age-appropriate books, singing songs, and sharing nursery rhymes, we cultivate a love for language and reading from an early age. Caregivers are guided to label familiar objects and engage in meaningful conversations, encouraging infants to express themselves through gestures and emerging words.
Cognitive Development
Explore the wonders of the world together! Your infant will delight in hands-on exploration with safe, colorful toys that promote problem-solving skills and cognitive growth. Our curriculum includes fun activities like peek-a-boo games to teach object permanence and cause-and-effect explorations that stimulate curiosity and critical thinking.
Physical Development and Health
Encourage physical milestones with engaging tummy time and crawling opportunities! Our curriculum emphasizes gross and fine motor skills through activities that promote grasping, pulling, and coordination. We also provide resources on proper health practices, such as handwashing, fostering a lifelong appreciation for health and hygiene.
Social and Emotional Development
Nurture your infant’s emotional well-being through responsive caregiving and positive interactions. Our curriculum encourages trust and security, essential in fostering self-awareness and emotional expression. Caregivers are equipped with strategies to model caring behaviors, ensuring your child’s emotional development thrives in a loving environment.
Approaches to Play and Learning
Learning through play is at the heart of our curriculum. We promote sensory-rich experiences that encourage exploration and creativity, whether through water or sand play. Simultaneously fostering curiosity and persistence, our approach sets the stage for rich developmental interactions, even with peers, through parallel play opportunities.
Social Studies
Introduce your infant to the concepts of family and community with guided experiences. Our curriculum encourages exploration of the natural world through walks and outdoor activities, helping your child develop a sense of belonging and understanding of their environment. Basic principles of sharing and turn-taking are also embedded in play interactions.
Science
Cultivate a sense of wonder with a focus on exploration and experimentation! Our science segment includes sensory experiences, such as manipulating natural materials and engaging in simple observational activities. Infants are encouraged to question and explore their surroundings, laying the groundwork for scientific inquiry.
Mathematics
Promote early mathematical understanding through enriching play. Our curriculum includes activities that support sorting, stacking, and counting—essential pre-math skills. With an introduction to basic concepts like more/less and spatial reasoning, your infant will begin to recognize patterns and sequences, vital for future math learning.
