Infant program (4 months to 18 months)
We understand that this stage is crucial for their development, so we provide a caring and nurturing environment where your baby can thrive. We focus on providing age-appropriate activities that promote sensory exploration, fine and gross motor skills development, and cognitive stimulation.
Our infant program includes:
Early stimulation
Early stimulation is a method for stimulating various brain functions in infants, allowing them to enhance their development. By providing age-appropriate activities, infants can develop physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills necessary for their growth and learning.
Nurturing self-esteem
Nurturing your infant's self-esteem is crucial for their overall development. Our comprehensive program is designed to provide a nurturing and enriching environment that fosters your baby's exploration, growth, and self-confidence. By creating a safe and supportive space, we prioritize your baby's emotional well-being and help them cultivate a positive sense of self as they embark on their developmental journey.
Cognitive & emotional development
Cognitive development plays a crucial role in your child's overall growth and intellectual abilities. It encompasses various essential areas, including memory, language acquisition, thinking, and reasoning skills. Similarly, emotional development is a continuous and progressive process observed in children from infancy. It involves the understanding and management of their own and others' emotions, working hand in hand with cognitive abilities. By encouraging emotional intelligence development, self-awareness, and social interaction, our program facilitates the growth of your child's emotional competence and interpersonal skills.
Sleep and feeding routine
Getting enough sleep and proper nutrition are two critical factors in the growth and development of babies. Babies need plenty of sleep for their bodies and brains to develop properly. On the other hand, healthy nutrition provides babies with the nutrients they need to grow and develop their physical and mental abilities.
Educational games, reading, and music
Educational games that include reading and music offer a well-rounded approach to learning for infants. These activities entertain and stimulate cognitive, language, and emotional development. By engaging in these interactive experiences, infants build a strong foundation for future academic success and develop a lifelong love for learning.
At Center ABCD Early Exploring Learning Together, we believe that toddlers learn most effectively through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. That's why our toddler program is specifically designed to foster active learning and exploration.
In our Toddler Program, we offer:
Didactic learning and correct vocabulary usage
In the exciting world of early education, there's a special approach called didactic learning that really captures the attention of toddlers. This method gets kids actively involved in hands-on activities, sparking their natural curiosity and taking them on an amazing adventure of discovery and learning. By playing, exploring, and working together with others, children build a strong foundation for a bright future. They develop important skills, learn new words, and become great at interacting with others, setting them up for success in all areas of life.
Science courses and craft activities
Science courses and craft activities provide numerous benefits for toddlers. They foster curiosity, develop critical thinking, enhance fine motor skills, stimulate creativity, and promote social skills. Engaging in these activities sets a strong foundation for learning and nurtures a lifelong interest in exploration and creativity.
Weekly curriculum plan with recreational activities
A well-designed weekly curriculum plan for toddlers with a range of recreational activities holds significant importance in their development. Our weekly schedule includes structured learning activities designed to introduce early concepts playfully. Through age-appropriate educational games, toddlers engage in cognitive development while having fun.
Emotional support, imagination development, and music
At our center, we prioritize creating a nurturing environment that supports your toddler's growth and creativity. Through emotional support, imaginative play, and the power of music, we help boost their confidence, foster creativity, and unlock their full potential for a promising future.
Recognition of body parts, emotions, and more
Through learning to identify and understand emotions, toddlers acquire essential tools for navigating their feelings and developing empathy towards others. Additionally, recognizing body parts enhances their self-awareness and body awareness, laying a robust groundwork for their overall development. Moreover, as toddlers explore colors, numbers, and letters, their perceptual skills and cognitive abilities are stimulated, enabling them to make connections and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Our preschooler program is specially designed to get children ready for the school environment. We prioritize boosting their confidence and equipping them with the necessary knowledge to excel during this important phase of their education.
In this program, children are provided with:
Values formation
In preschool, children begin to shape their understanding of values such as empathy, kindness, respect, and fairness. By nurturing these values, we lay the foundation for positive character traits and moral compasses that will guide them throughout their lives.
Emotional and behavioral support
Providing emotional and behavioral support is crucial in helping children understand and manage their emotions, fostering empathy, and promoting positive behavior. By prioritizing this support, we empower preschoolers and establish a strong foundation for their future success.
Science experiments and laboratory practices
Bringing science experiments and laboratory practices into the world of preschoolers is truly priceless. Not only does it ignite their curiosity and love for exploration, but it also helps develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By engaging in hands-on activities, children get to unleash their analytical abilities and dive deeper into understanding the world around them. This empowering experience turns them into active learners and nurtures a lifelong passion for scientific discovery and exploration.
Music, reading, writing and gym activities
We offer a dynamic and engaging curriculum that revolves around the power of music, reading, writing, and gym activities. Through these diverse and interactive experiences, we aim to provide a strong foundation for their holistic development, promoting cognitive, physical, and social-emotional growth.
Social integration and organizational routines
Social integration is a fundamental process for preschoolers as they learn to interact positively and productively with other children and adults. It involves understanding and following rules, as well as cooperating with others. Meanwhile, organizational routines, such as arrival and dismissal, snack time, circle time, and outdoor play, provide a structured and predictable environment in preschool settings. These routines teach preschoolers important skills like following directions, managing time effectively, and staying organized.
