Daily Schedule
Curriculum
The toddler room serves children from 16 months to 33 months. Community Child Care Center's ratio for the toddler room is 1 adult for every 5 children, exceeding minimum state licensing requirement, thus allowing more time for nurturing one-on-one relationships between teacher and child. The capacity for the toddler room is 14 children. The schedule is designed to meet each child's needs as well as the needs of the group. Nap time, meal times, and diapering times are fixed. Free-play, indoor/outdoor activities, and transition times are flexible. The classroom teacher team changes the equipment in the classrooms every three to four weeks to provide the children with a variety of age appropriate toys and equipment pieces to engage with during child-initiated playtime.
    All teacher-initiated activities are optional, but children are encouraged to participate and experiment with new activities. Teachers use a number of strategies and activities to encourage growth and development, including: playful interactions, songs, stories, positive reinforcement, direction, redirection, and modeling of appropriate behavior. The program focuses on a variety of age appropriate goals and skills including: self-help, independence, peer interaction, self-control, positive problem solving, age appropriate health and safety habits, and using emerging language to communicate  needs and feelings and express emotions in a healthy way. Parents/caregivers  fill out a portion of a daily report form when their child arrives to the  center. Teachers then complete the rest of the form describing the child's  activities for the day. This includes what the child has eaten, their sleeping  times and quality of that sleep, mood and behavior, and their diapering  information. The purpose of these forms is to assure continuous communication between parents/caregivers and the staff.
