At Imaginations at Work, we believe the first 3 years of a persons life is extremely important to a child's long term development. It is for this reason we have teamed with Early Head Start and Warren County Community Services. One of our classrooms has been outfit as Early Head Start class in order to incorporate some of the Head Start teachings. Additionally, this program provides additional education and training for our teachers, as well as resources for our parents.
In our infant room, our teachers are constantly talking to our students to promote early literacy and strong social skills. Our teachers nurture the students and spend lots of time on their level to watch their development. Tummy time and outdoor play are part of our daily activities. We are on an as needed schedule in our infant room to allow schedules to stay consistent from home to school. Our teachers are monitoring and assessing the children's developmental milestones through our curriulum and 38 objectives. Lesson plans are created weekly, and incorporate individualized lessons for each child based on their individual developmental level.
Being a Toddler is an exciting time in both the lives of parents and children. This is the time of first steps, first sentences, and potty training. It is our goal to work side by side with the parents in order to help your child achieve these milestones and many more. Teachers work side by side with the children as they learn in small and large groups. We facilitate several open ended question opportunities throughout each day to allow for more vocabulary to be built, and help the children to socially and emotionally learn the world around them. These classrooms being the transition from being an infant to a Toddler/Early Preschooler by incorporating a more structured environment.
