Activities and growth goals: what to expect each quarter
Each quarter our nursery equipment will grow and change with the babies to support our focused goals and skills. This first quarter I will focus on bonding with your little one, getting to know her/his personality, routines, preferences, child led wake/sleep/eat schedule. Utilizing infant massage, we will work to decrease irritability, colic, gas and indigestion while promoting social, emotional and cognitive growth. Stimulating the sensory system during awake times we will help baby differentiate between awake and sleep periods through meaningful guided activities. We will also begin introducing solid foods into our day/routine.
We will be spending as much time outside in our shaded baby play yard as weather permits. We will bring out our nursery equipment and spend time outside exploring new textures, sounds, smells, and tastes. This quarter will primarily be explored through our senses. This is also the quarter where we will focus on swimming. Babies will be walked down to the pool 3 times a week for a swim lesson, they will be taught how to hold their breath under water, blow bubbles while putting their face in the water, floating, kicking and paddling. Babies will be taught one on one through fun and engaging play methods. Parents are always welcome to attend any of our lessons.
I will focus on creating routines that stimulate baby’s fine/gross motor skills, tracking, grabbing, rolling, scooting, sitting skills, crawling and pulling to stand. I will introduce infant sign language during this quarter and continue to build on and add words/signs throughout baby’s time with me. We will also begin socializing in small circle time with all babies and begin daily (weather permitting) strolls in our group stroller. Babies will begin introduction to water during bath time using an infant floating device in our soaking tub where we build a tolerance to water on our faces and the use of the floating devices to prepare for swim lessons.
