PreK – 1
Our PreK-1 program provides a warm, welcoming environment where your child can grow from a bundle of joy to a bundle of curiosity. Your child’s primary caregiver is a nurturing child development professional who is focused on creating experiences and opportunities that invite exploration and support the rapid and important development that is occurring in a child’s second year.
Beyond day care, our Multiple Intelligence TINICITI curriculum for pre kindergarten students is designed to adapt to each individual child’s age and stage as well as their learning style. Our teachers promote emotional, physical, social, and intellectual development in a fun, engaging environment.
COMMUNICATION
The baby makes two similar sounds, such as “ba-ba,” “da-da,” or “ga-ga”? (The sounds do not need to mean anything.) If you ask the baby to, he plays at least one nursery game even if you don’t show him the activity yourself (such as “bye bye,” “Peeka- boo,” “clap your hands,” “So Big”)
The baby follows one simple command, such as “Come here,” “Give it to me,” or “Put it back,” without your using gestures
Baby says three words, such as “Mama,” “Dada,” and “Baba”? (A “word” is a sound or sounds your baby says consistently to mean someone or something.) When you ask, “Where is the ball (hat, shoe, etc.)?” the baby looks at the object
When the baby wants something, he tell you by pointing to it
