Infants
Placing your child in care is an emotional exprience. Casa Dei Bambini is here to guide and support you through that process. At Casa Dei Bambini, we have exhausted every effort in designing an environment which will promote the feelings of belonging and of nurturing care. These are key components which help each infant grow and develop to their full potential.
​
Our program is designed to meet the individual needs and desires of each child and to provide them with rich educational experiences as well as the nurturing they require to feel connected to their teacher. Children eat, sleep, and play according to his or her own schedule. We work closely with each family to create a seamless transition from the home environment to the one they experience at Casa Dei Bambini.
Our qualified teachers will guide and encourage your child during every stage of his or her development while being mindful of his or her abilities. Our teachers provide numerous opportunities to explore creativity with art, using a variety of sensory materials, helping develop fine motor skills. You will often see infants being read to which encourages visual and language development. Infants will have numerous opportunities to be rocked as well as have floor- play, tummy time and be allowed to freely move about the classroom to support gross motor skills and to enhance learning through their own natural curiosity.
​
We firmly believe in, and support, open and thorough communication between teachers and parents. It is our commitment to communicate which fosters the partnership between families and Casa Dei Bambini Early Learning Center. It is that partnership that leads to exceptional care of each infant and confidence for every parent, for years to come.
Toddlers
The emphasis during the toddler years is on building self-confidence and fostering the natural curiosity that toddlers possess. The toddler classroom is designed to provide an environemtn in which your busy toddler will be offered numerous stimulating learning experiences.
For a toddler, the world is theirs to explore and at Casa Dei Bambini we believe they learn by way of their own natural inquisitiveness and when they are offered learning experiences through various outlets. Toddlers thrive off of routine, as such in the toddler program you will find a balanced schedule, allowing for free- play and structure. Your toddler will learn through guided group activities as well as independent play.
It is at this age that your child will take one nap each day and eat together with his or her friends. Throughout the day toddlers enjoy the large variety of play materials that are readily made availbale to them, as well as creative centers where children can dress-up, build with blocks, and experiment in the sensory table. Art, music, language and science activities geared to little hands are also introduced.
Our teachers offer the tenderness, warmth, and patience that is essential at this young age. Casa Dei Bambini toddlers feel comfortable in their classroom setting when their parents leave. Deep respect for each child ensures that your toddler will truly love his or her school environment and, from that, develop a long lasting love for learning!
Preschool
In the preschool program you will find an environment rich with learning materials and teachers trained to foster each child's love for learning by offering fun, new and exciting opportunities each day. you will find such activities as; math, science, reading and writing prominent in the class. Children will learn through small group and individual opportunities. Art projects will be offered and displayed frequently if not daily. In a preschool program, art is about the process not the product. This allows for your child to express him or herself as they see fit.
​
Preschooler's will be treated with the respect and challenged to become indenpent. In order to do this, you will find an environment where manners and self-help skills are taught. At Casa Dei Bambini we believe that manners are essential for every child to learn.
Manners promote a community where children feel welcomed, safe and are excited to attend. You will find that our teachers respect a child's feelings by acknowleding them and teaching them how to react to various emotions. Our trained and educated teachers will communicate at eye-level with children and never shout across a classroom. This promotes a healthy and calm environment, where children can "use their words" to express themselves and given opportunities to "practice first" their self-help skills will flourish naturally.
One key experience your preschoolers will experience is the ability to sit on the potty each day. Around the age of 2 years children start to explore the idea of potty training. Casa Dei Bambini believes open lines of communication are essential for your child's development, not only as it relates to potty training, but in general.
​
Your child's growth and development will soar!!
Pre-K
The preK class is designed to actively engage each child in developmentally age appropriate activites exploring the content areas of literacy, mathematics, science, art and technology. Our skilled teachers prepare curriculum that is exciting and challenging, as well as supportive of each child's own learning style.
Each child will be encouraged to complete various tasks, which are planned by their teachers, desgined to teach your child a skill. These activities are called "work". The children's work will be displayed throughout the classroom and sent home at the end of each learning theme. Children are taught to respect their work and "keep their space beautiful." This teachers the children to be responsible for their work and actions. Teachers utilize a classroom job chart in order to encourage independence and promote a community feeling.
​
Children are encouraged to participate in group discussions to boost confidence as well as participate in frequent show- and - tell. Casa Dei Bambni believes that parents are the key to making the learning cycle come fully round. What we teach at school should be supported at home, just as what is taught at home is supported at Casa Dei Bambini. In order to make Casa Dei Bambini a successful experience for your child, we are committed to building a strong partnership through open communication and mutual respect.
