Our prime goal is to provide a caring and nurturing environment for our children. LALC teachers work individually with each child, accommodating each child’s physical, cognitive and psychological stages of development. Infants alternate between activities, exploration of play, individual feeding and rest times. Children are rocked, and read to on a one-on-one basis.An accredited approved curriculum is used in our classroom beginning in our infant room. Children experience the outdoors during the buggy rides around the school and out on the playground as soon as they are old enough to sit up and weather permitting. Our room has a “no shoe” policy to keep the environment as clean as possible. Our room is filled with age appropriate toys for children to crawl, play and discover with. Three meals a day or 3 bottles of formula and baby food are provided to our infants at no additional cost to our parents. Children are fed and changed regularly, as needed. Our teachers love, nurture, reassure, and comfort the children in our care.
Our program promotes social, emotional, physical and language development. Center based classrooms are set up that encourage children to explore, chose their activity, learning adventure and gain an understanding of world around them. Individualized and group activities are included in the program. Daily activities include story and circle times, dramatic play, art, music and movement, science and outdoor playtime.Our children in this classroom will learn self-help skills, communication skills, songs and enjoys age-appropriate activities.
