Infants & Toddlers Curriculum

A curriculum for infants and toddlers?  Really? Absolutely.  Infants and toddlers have an extraordinary capacity to learn and Carepointe's curriculum approach addresses the unique needs of today's infants and toddlers.  Our curriculum provides a framework for our teaching staff so that our programs goals and philosophy are translated into daily experiences for your infant or toddler. Carepointe’s curriculum is guided by an understanding of the development of infants and toddlers and bridges the gap between theory and reality.

Taking care of very young children involves more than just "liking babies" and meeting their physical needs. Carepointe care giving teachers see themselves as responsive professionals concerned about all aspects of children's development. Our approach enables your child’s teacher to develop a close, supportive relationship with your child.

Children take the first step in the learning process by making choices and following through on their plans and decisions. Caregivers and parents offer physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual support.

Learning and development are anchored by long-term, trusting relationships with care giving teachers, who are close at hand to support the children as they play. Adults scaffold further learning as they interact with children throughout the day.

Our curriculum consists of proven teaching practices to support children's growth and learning and content areas for infants and toddlers.  Like all Carepointe early childhood programs, our Infant-Toddler curriculum is based on the principle that children learn best through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. During this active learning process, infants and toddlers are encouraged to discover the world around them by exploring and playing.
