Enchanted Garden Daycare
Our Practices
Our developmental practices are based upon the care of the senses, development of mind, body and spirit and the nurture of a healthy social life. These practices will enhance growth and development in the following areas: language, social, emotional, physical, cognition, and creativity. Our focus will be the healthy development of movement, language and physical growth. Family-style care will allow the infants to experience the joy of being around older children.
Infant Care
Infant care will have an emphasis on promoting healthy sensory integration, encouraging their natural integration; rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and pulling up through their own capacity. Rocking and cuddling will be encouraged to develop a healthy sense of touch and movement and to promote security and comfort.
Nursing Mothers
Nursing Mothers will be encouraged to come anytime they wish to nurse and/or leave expressed milk with the child’s caregiver.
Toddlers
Toddlers will be given ample opportunity for explorative movement and to develop their sense of balance. Music and basic finger and foot games will be a daily experience.
Outdoor Time
Outdoor Time will be a daily experience except in the most inclement weather (extreme heat, cold or wind).
Toilet Training
Caregiver will work with the parents to follow their training procedures as best they are able. Children who are toilet trained will be taken to the toilet on a regularly schedule basis along with the others who are training. The social context and imitative nature will sometimes help children go. Parents are asked to continue the regularly scheduled routine when the child is at home.
