Infants
6 Weeks - 12 Months & Walking
Infants are the ‘Seeds’ of our ‘Growing Children Socially and Academically’ program here at Honey Tree and Branches Academy. This is the time in a child’s life when the earliest social, emotional, and developmental foundations begin to be planted and nurtured. We provide a loving, nurturing, and stimulating environment to help those first seedlings grow strong. Our proprietary Infant Program is designed to support each child’s individual growth through caring interactions, sensory exploration, language-rich experiences, music, movement, and guided play. We focus on building trust, comfort, and early developmental skills while encouraging curiosity and discovery. Books, songs, tummy time, sensory materials, and hands-on experiences are an essential part of our Infant Program. We provide more than simple care for your child. We provide the most nurturing and enriching learning environment possible to help your child flourish during this vital stage of life.
Engagement & Exploration
'Seeds'
Our Toddlers get the opportunity to have daily academic mini lessons that incorporate listening to thematic picture books, oral and tactile language arts lessons, counting and sorting, thematic objects of the week, singing thematic songs, stamping or painting the color or letter of the week, and participating in science, health, art or social studies lessons that integrate with their weekly themes.
Loving Care
Exploration & Enriching Interaction
Toddlers need the opportunity to explore their environment and use their hands and bodies to move and manipulate objects. Our toddlers get to explore with painting, safe tools, playdough, coloring, shaving cream, climbing, catching, etc. to help their little bodies develop and learn muscle memory control.
Potty training is an essential component of our toddler program as well. We consistently take our toddlers to the bathroom approximately every hour, and partner with the parents to ensure consistent training is occurring at home as well. Our goal is to have our toddlers potty trained by age 2. We have found that when the parents and the school partner successfully together this is a realistic goal that benefits all of our young families by helping their child be more responsible and eliminating those pull ups!
