Programs
The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Infant (0 months through 15 months)
When the doctor cuts the umbilical cord, a baby’s life on his or her own begins. The official time of birth happens when the baby is clear of the mother’s body. From birth to age one month, the baby is medically known as a neonate. Great changes happen in the neonatal period of growth and development. With the help and care of others, babies develop physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively during the first years of life.
Toddler (15-33 months)
The name toddlers are quite befitting because they toddle during almost all their waking minutes as they explore the world around them. During this time toddlers become sure-footed (gross motor development) as they practice jumping, hopping, throwing, and catching. There is improvement in their small motor (fingers and hands). Cognitively they begin to understand their environment and become able communicators as they learn new words and speak in short sentences. They soon have a desire for independence as they get older and sometimes demonstrate negative expressions of self-will.
Pre-School (2.9-5 years)
Children grow and develop in significant ways between ages 2.9 years through 6 years, the most visible is in their physical bodies. There are striking changes in the size and shape of their bodies. By the end of the preschool period, age 5 years, children’s bodies look more like those of adults than those of babies. Children’s motor skills also improve. This enables them to engage in activities that demand coordination and balance, such as biking. Fine motor skills are improving, but they still lag behind gross-motor skills. Although preschoolers use symbols, including language, in a more mature way, they cannot consistently use logic in reasoning.
School-Age (6-13 years)
In these years physical development slows, and most children’s gross-motor skills become graceful and strong. Fine motor skills improve, too. Intellectually, school-age children are becoming logical and expressing themselves competently. During these years, children also learn formally in school. They depend less on their parents and make more decisions on their own. Friendships and groups become important for their social development.
