Otter Tots Play and Learn Curriculum

Otter Tots Play and Learn is a child-centered program with Christian values. Our program will work closely with each parent to make sure the child succeeds.
We will follow the goals set forth in CT Guidelines for the Development of Infant & Toddler Early Learning guide book. We also are guided by the CTELDS and Ages to Stages, making sure each child meets the goals expected for kindergarten.
Your child will receive quality individualized care while gaining practice in these skills: social/emotional, cognitive, language, fine motor, large motor which they will need to succeed in school. Here at Otter tots the teacher/child ratio is 2:6. English/Spanish is spoken here so they are aware of both languages.

Daily Activities Include

A variety of indoor and outdoor activities (weather permitting).

Indoor Play: activities include letters, numbers and shape recognition, science and math, cooking, lots of singing, music, arts and crafts, circle time, story telling, reading and plenty of free play.
Outdoor Play: will include large motor activities: nature walks, running, jumping, climbing, sand and water tables.
Quiet Time: Every child must take a rest, it is an important part of their learning and growth. Each child has their own cot/crib and is required to lay down and rest after lunch from 1pm to 3 pm. If you need to pick up your child during nap time please let me know in advance and text when you arrive so as to not disrupt the other children.
Meals: Healthy food choices make for healthy bodies and minds. All food is provided.
Christian Values: We will always give thanks for our meal. Talk about holidays and why we celebrate.

* Schedule is always flexible to meet the needs of the children.
