OUR
TIME:
Ages: 18 months to 3 1/2 years
with caregiver
One 15-week session
(45 min./week) per semester
Your child's
developing ability to feel, cope with and express all her
emotions is so very important at this age. You'll see how the activities
we do in Our Time™ address the emotional characteristics and tendencies
of this stage that we call the "rubber band" stage.
We'll honor your child's desire for freedom and the chance to explore
and experiment while we also making sure she feels safe and supported.
The activities will encourage her to be creative, to
initiate her own ideas and to respond in her own ways, while your active
participation will give her the security she needs.
Our Time™ facilitates her discovery of instruments, textures,
sounds and movement.
Language skills are fostered with singing and vocal play. The anticipation
and rewards of listening are introduced, and with turn-taking activities,
social skills blossom. Essentially, Our Time™ provides the safety
of training
wheels for the bicycle of pre-school!
