Preschool and infant/toddler programs

"Learning Through Discovery"

For Those Who Want The Finest Care For Their Children

Kuddles College is designed to make available an environment that will contribute to the development of the whole child.  One of the most important factors in a child care facility is the love and caring a child receives.  Some children are away from home for many hours, so they need to feel that their school is a "home away from home."

We are professionally staffed, our teachers are highly qualified and trained to meet each individual child's needs.  The center will use the standards established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS

Curriculum - Studies show that children begin learning "academic subjects" reading, math, and science-almost from the time they are born.  The lessons and activities that our teachers present are designed to foster a child that has a positive self-image and enjoys learning.

INFANT/TODDLER PROGRAM

The purpose of this program is to provide children ages 6 weeks to 24 months with a well-nourished and safe environment.  To assist Infants and Toddlers to make positive progress in their development.  Each child has his/her own schedule that we try to accommodate.  We encourage children to be independent by allowing them to participate in self-directed play exploration.  We also have teacher-direct activities to develop physical, language, and creative skills.  We give a lot of individual attention and we have lots of time for cuddles and hugs!

Nutrition: The children are served well balanced snacks and meals.  In the Infant Room formula and jar food will be provided by Kuddles College. 

In the Toddler Room:   8:00 a.m. Breakfast

                                   11:30 a.m. Lunch

                                   3:00 p.m. Snack

A menu of the week's snacks and meals will be posted on the parent's board near the front entrance.

Nap Time: Arranged according to the child's own schedule and needs in the Infant Room.  As a child gets older, nap time progresses to one afternoon nap.

Daily Activities:  Weather permitting, time is spent outdoors going on walks or going out to the play-ground, specifically set up for Infants and Toddlers.  Daily Activity sheets are filled out by the parent and staff to assist in providing consistent, accurate communications and care.
