PRESCHOOL
Our Blooming Buds Childcare Programs (3-12 Months)
At no other stage of life, does learning occur so rapidly. Find comfort knowing your child is in the right place at the right time. Available to children as young as 3-12 months old. Every day reveals an exciting new world for the babies in our care. Learning and development starts long before birth and accelerates rapidly afterwards. Therefore, infants must continually build knowledge and connect new ideas to what they already know and do.
Our infants curriculum nurtures and supports the development of abilities that babies need to succeed in learning, and life. The CHS Blooming Buds Crèche have been cautiously designed to deliver safe, nurturing and stimulating environs with activities to help children achieve important milestones while having fun!
Discover why CHS is the Smart Choice for your child’s first early learning experience.
For Beginning Learners
Social Emotional Activities
As they continue to grow, brave bud pupils are learning how to display their emotions and interact with their peers and managers. Our programs are developed as a further guide to a child’s social-emotional growth through positive interactions with those around them.
Meals
Proper nutrition serves as fuel for growing bodies and minds.
Bottle-fed babies are held and rocked by nurturers while promoting language with mimicking sounds.
Babies eating cereal or jar foods are buckled securely in high chairs while nurturer’s sits at eye-level for meal time.
A cheerful voice is used to encourage each infant to eat. Simple stories are told during mealtimes.
Infants are encouraged to grasp their own bottle once they reach this milestone.
Our staff never props a bottle for feedings.
Each family is required to update the school with an infant feeding plan.
This plan ensures our staff completely understands each child’s specific diet and meal times.
