DAILY ROUTINE:
    Once upon enrollment parents are required to fill out a “feeding plan” which is to be signed by a doctor, for their child. This will be updated every time parents decide to change their child’s feeding schedule or food selection. Teachers follow this feeding plan as instructed by parents unless the request is prohibited by state guidelines or Paths to Quality. Any food allergies or restriction must be supported with a doctor’s note for us to follow.

• Parents will be able to see their child’s daily activities including (but not limited to) feedings, diaper changes, and pictures. You will also have the availability to communicate with the child’s teacher and/or administration easily if needed.

DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES:
    The teacher will do activities with the babies such as tummy time, music/singing, reading books, working on head control, sitting up, rolling over, crawling, and walking. We do arts and crafts with them as well that help with sensory stimulation and give the parents memorabilia.   We follow the Foundation to Indiana Academic Standards for ages Birth to Five Years.
