Infant Room - March and April

In March, we welcomed Ben to our Program.  We are so excited to have him a part of our group!
With the weather not cooperating, we spent a lot of time indoors this month.  We did a lot of gross motor activities; playing on and with the mats.  We did rolling, climbing and hopping on the mats.  We love moving our bodies, it makes us feel so good!  We also played a few games and made a tent.  We crawled inside and played peek-a-boo.  We are so happy it is spring and can't wait to play in our yard!

April was bug month in our room!  We had pictures of different bugs and posted them on our wall for the children to see.  We went outside with bug nets and cages to see what bugs we could catch!  Inside, we saw a bug crawling and used our net to catch (with help from the teacher of course!)  The kids were able to really watch and see how the bug moved around.  We ate 'worms in dirt' (chocolate pudding, crushed cookies and gummy worms) for snack one day...boy, did it taste good!!!  We expanded on their interest of bugs by playing "Where is the bug" and crawled around pretending to be bugs. 

We had an Easter egg hunt and the kids had so much finding the eggs that were hiding around the room!

We said good-bye to Logan who moved up to the Preschool Room.  We'll miss your big smile in the room, Logan,  but are excited to see you learning out in Preschool! 

Welcome back to the Program Emma.  It is wonderful having you back! 

We said good-bye to Sharon as well this month and wish her all the best on her retirement.  We will definitely miss you but look forward to seeing you out and about on our walks!  Roberta has joined the Infant Program!

Giving your baby a bath

Time it right: Don't give your baby a real bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Sponge baths are okay until then. Gather supplies: A baby tub (or just the sink), a washcloth or two, cotton balls (optional), baby soap, a towel, and a fresh diaper. Get ready: Heat the room if it's chilly, and run an inch or two of warm water (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tub or sink Take the plunge: Undress your baby and gradually place her in the tub on her back. Support her head and neck with one hand. Keep her comfy: Gently pour cupfuls of water over your baby's body throughout the bath so she doesn't get cold. Clean all over: Use a washcloth, cotton balls, or your hand to gently wash your baby's face and body. No need to scrub or use much soap. Read More

Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque , which is a clear film of bacteria sticks to your teeth. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much. Before Toothpaste Was Invented We're lucky that we know so much now about taking care of our teeth.
