Curriculum
Infants typically have their own routine. They will tell us when they are hungry and tired and we will use the information you have given us about how much, how often and what naps are like. We also have some routines that are constant such as morning stroller walks (weather permitting) and diaper changes every two hours or if we smell something or simply feel it's too soggy. For our older infants doing solid foods (which parents provide when ready) we do breakfast around 8:00/8:0am, lunch around 11:00/11:30am and snack around 2:00/2:30pm.
We will keep you up to date on what your child is doing daily through a program application called‚ "BrightWheel". You will be invited to join the app and we post your infants day in real time! We also send pictures during your child's day so you can see them in action. The app is secure and confidential so only you see your child's day and photos.
We know that leaving your precious ‚"tiny human" for the first time can be very difficult. We encourage you to come by for a few visits before your infant's start date. This allows us to get to know you and your child, their schedule (as you probably have it down to a science!) and what you are expecting for your infant. Ask us questions! We will be happy to answer them.
We look forward to having you join our classroom and becoming part of the Nellie's Treehouse family! We can't wait to start making memories together!
