Daily Activities In Our Blooming Bud Program.
While at CHS, Our whole-child approach is guaranteed to ensure babies grow into happy, healthy and engaged children. Our programs tap into a baby’s natural curiosity that enhances his or her growth through actions designed to encourage “Brain, Social, Emotional, Physical and Behavioral Development”; while aiding communication, language and literacy.
Each infant will engage in activities designed to shape and advance the many aspects of their being.
Brain Development.
Expand your baby’s mind infinitely through our rich programs. Our Blooming Bud Programs are designed to engage infants and provide each one with the stimulation that is so crucial for early brain development. Our nurturers ensure that each child:
- Responds to music and experiments with vocalization and sounds.
- Explores simple art materials and shows preference for visuals.
- Shows interest in rhymes, finger plays and stories with props.
- We focus on the WHOLE child for the TOTAL child through the heart and soul.
Social & Emotional Development
We provide every child with a nurturing experience that not only caters to their emotional needs but also enhances their ability to create healthy bonds with any family members and caregivers. Our nurturers observe to see if each child:
- Responds to their image and name.
- Makes sound, facial expressions or body movements to express simple emotions of contentment or discontentment.
- Responds to negative and positive reactions and observes peers who are experiencing a need or discomfort
Physical & Behavioral Development
We provide atmospheres where every baby can thrive. Our rich programs provide a learning center equipped with educational and developmentally-appropriate resources and activities designed to promote learning in a fun and exciting environment. Expanding the imagination and strengthening the muscles is a big part of our programs, so we ensure that each child: Initiates active play and engages in some physical activity.
- Responds to what they hear, see, touch, taste and smell.
- Demonstrates beginning coordination and balance, often with support.
- Repeats action to make something happen again.
- Selects an item of interest by pointing and/or reaching for objects.
- Examines a resource at close range for a brief period.
Communication, Language & Literacy.
The art of expression is vital to a baby’s developmental growth. Our nurturers are constantly monitoring each child for the beginning steps of communication by observing if they are:
- Responding to simple direction, words, phrases and familiar people.
- Communicating feelings through facial expressions.
- Explore books through touching
