The Green Onions Class consists of children ranging from two (2) years in age through three (3) years of age. We ask parents to provide breakfast, lunch, a morning and two afternoon snacks. A refrigerator and microwave is located onsite for an added convenience. The administrative team of Onionpatch Infant care has designed an approved curriculum program specifically geared for this age group.
The curriculum is focused on developing an experientially rich, developmentally appropriate environment that responds to the creativity of children and teachers. At the core of the Pinnacle Curriculum lie well planned learning centers that allow for child choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching designed to ensure future academic success. The development of language, mathematical reasoning, and scientific thought are emphasized throughout the centers. Changes to the learning environment, activities, and projects reflect emerging interests. Learning centers result in the guided experiences that encompass all the skills and understandings necessary for optimum development and success in school.
The Green Onions Class enjoys outside time in the morning and afternoon hours. A Progress Report is also sent home twice a year. Not only does this report provide Onionpatch Infant care the opportunity to reevaluate our curriculum program, it allows the parents to understand the developmental and academic stages of their child. The staff to toddler ratio is 1:8.
Each class room has been designed to ensure your child is never out of sight or out of touch with his/her caregiver. The diaper changing areas are designed so that caregivers are never facing away from the children.
