Development screenings conducted twice a year, once in the beginning of the school year and once in the late Spring, to assess student progress and growth and allowing teachers to assess skill levels and target specific developmental deficits for each child.

Curriculum: Baby Time: Family Enrichment Program Infant Curriculum is designed to capitalize on how a baby’s daily routines can serve as the basis of learning, throughout the day. Activities are centered around daily routines, as well as on special play time, talking time, and cuddling routines. Baby sign gestures are introduced in this program to promote early and healthy communication.

Classroom utilizes a multi-sensory approach to learning, incorporating sensory activities daily.

In regards to discipline, first and foremost, a positive-praise theme is used, in order to foster good behavior within the classroom. Redirection is also used consistently in our classrooms. If behavior issues persist, the teachers work closely with the parents and our therapy staff to create an individualized behavior management/modification plan for the child.
