General Info

INFANTS (6 weeks - 12 months): At The Blue Kangaroo Day School our caregivers focus on primary care giving. We work to help the child build a sense of security and lay a foundation for the development of confidence and trust. We work closely with the parents to customize a daily routine that will fit the family's needs. Our staff are educated and trained in infant development and we provide a stimulating, safe and secure environment to encourage the infants to explore and trust their caregivers. WODDLERS (12 - 18 months) and WODDLER 2 (18 - 24 months): In this age group we encourage the children to explore. Activities are child initiated. Our caregivers act as facilitators for the children and they give support and guidance. The activities offered for this age group are for manipulation and exploration. Materials in the rooms will be rotated often, as the interests of the children change. A stimulating environment is created to nurture curiosity and motivate each child. TODDLERS (2 years - 2 years 6 months): Short group activities are planned daily. Their attention spans are short and we do not want to discourage them. We prefer to build upon their interest and share the joy of uncovering the pleasures of everyday life. Your child will be surrounded with meaningful language to enhance the learning value of each new experience. Your child will experiment with newly acquired abilities. They will discover that they can make things happen. This increased awareness occurs while the children are enjoying sand play, water play, toy riding, shape sorting, block building, kitchen play, dressing up, coloring, cutting, pasting, ball bouncing and many other activities.
