Where it is our goal to create a safe learning environment, supportive of every child's individual needs. Each class provides age appropriate developmental and educational material designed to stimulate the natural curiosity in children.
Our infant area provides the highest quality care in an environment that is designed with the parent and child in mind. While in our care, the children are stimulated through music, exercise, outdoor blanket time, facial and verbal mimicking as well as lots of hugs and tickles. A parental daily report is given to update each family on meal times, nap times, diapering and all activities accomplished each day.
At this age, children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. Crawling, walking and eventually running are levels they accomplish in what seems like a blink of an eye. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music, stories, outdoor play, and learning simplicities envelop much of the day. Our caregivers are dedicated in helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship. A parental daily report is given to update each family on meal times, nap times, toilet training and all activities accomplished each day.
Children develop reasoning and problem solving skills. They begin to think for themselves, and work out problems mentally rather than through trial and error. They begin to develop stronger social bonds and their communication and reading skills. Vocabulary, memory and speech are increased by labelling items in books and asking questions. Physically eye-hand; co-ordination, pre-writing skills, large muscle skills and gross motor skills are increasing.
At CumLaude Academy our child care program focuses on your baby’s development:
Cognitive skills Allows children to attempt to work out problems on their own, create and explore. Suggested materials include books, large pegs to group, sort and stack, large crayons, markers paints and paint brushes.
Social Emotional skills Our caregivers encourage cooperative and individual learning opportunities as well as creative expression. Provide opportunities for dramatic play with simple themes and props. Children are allowed to make choices on activities.
Communication skills We believe in talking positively to your child in statements that allow your child to respond back. Introduce your child to written words and other literacy based materials, and sing throughout the day. We allow the child to make choices on activities. We seek to establish eye contact when talking to children and use picture books and short story books with repetition and rhymes, poems and finger plays.
Physical skills We allow children to run throw, catch, jump, climb, ride on riding toys and make choices on activities. Low climbing structures, riding toys, balls, puzzles and books.
Go beyond academics to promote social and emotional development, creativity, and positive approaches to learning while encouraging a preschooler's playfulness. Compliant with the Lewisville ISD, Curriculum for K: CumLaude Academy helps children achieve the readiness skills needed for kindergarten.
