Infant
Program 6 weeks-12 months |
|
At
the Kid’s Depot we place safety as our number one priority in
our infant program.
Our caregivers are trained in infant CPR as well as early childhood
development. We offer a safe, warm, loving environment for babies
as young as six weeks old. Our program provides tools to stimulate
your baby’s sense of discovery with safe, clean areas to explore;
and lots of rocking chairs for gentle lullabies when your baby wants
to sleep.
We also know that young infants put everything in their mouths.
To that end, we make sure all toys in the infant area are sanitized
on a daily basis, and have no small or breakable parts that could
be swallowed.
We’re also ready for the day that your infant begins to crawl
and explore a wider area of the classroom. All of the furniture in
the infant room is firmly secured to prevent tipping and we have a
large wide area that’s soft on young knees and hands. |

Toddler
Program 12-36 months

|
| The hallmark of a toddler
is endless energy. That’s why the toddler program at the Kid’s
Depot is designed to be full of surprises and activity. Your
child’s development will be enhanced with daily indoor and
outdoor activities such as painting, story-time, singing and dancing
and gymnastics. And with our KinderView internet viewing system,
you can watch your child at play anytime.
On a daily basis, your child will enjoy:
• healthy meals and snacks
• toys that are sanitized on a daily basis
• a clean, comfortable sleep area
• a personal “cubbie” to store artwork, or extra
stuff from home
