- Tiny Turtles
- Serving children aged 4M – 15M
- Certified Nurses teach and care for the Tiny Turtles in our Infant Room.
- Because young children this age have different sleeping and eating patterns, we have a separate sleeping room with cribs so that the little ones can rest peacefully on their own schedule.
- Classical music such as Mozart and Beethoven is played softly in the sleeping room during naps – studies show that it enhances brain power even when a child is sleeping and it’s very soothing. We take every opportunity to help enhance your child’s time with us.
- Diaper changes are done on an as-needed basis for all children as are feedings.
- Cleanliness is paramount! Babies this age like to use their mouth to explore so EVERY toy that goes into a baby’s mouth is put into a ‘dirty toy bin’ and is cleaned with natural disinfectants each day before going back into the room for play.
- This bright room is filled with age and developmentally appropriate toys and books such as tactile soft toys, stackable blocks and rings, books with large and colorful pictures, etc.
- Daily diaries are kept for each child and sent home with details such as feeding times, changing times, nap times, and any notable items for the parents.
- Our Arabic and music teacher comes into the classroom to introduce these specials to our Tiny Turtles each week.
- The Nurses constantly sing lullabies and songs, teach finger play and engage the children throughout their day.
- Library time also takes place with the Tiny Turtles in their classroom which includes read-aloud stories.
- The Tiny Turtles are taken to the Indoor Soft Play Gym daily to explore and play in a cool and clean area.
- The Tiny Turtles participate in Water Play once a week.
