Babies
4 - 18 months
Our wonderful infant care environment is cozy, warm, and specially designed for mobility.
In our lovely infant classroom setting, we foster and nurture your child's independence:
-
Plenty of floor space for children to move and explore, as they are ready
-
We follow a child’s natural sleeping and waking process
-
Meals and feedings are determined by a child’s natural hunger patterns
Toddlers
18 months +
The toddler years are the time when children use their bodies, senses, and emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world, in ways most meaningful and effective for them.
Dr. Montessori was one of the first educators to recognize the first few years of a child’s life as critical to the development of personality and intellect. Toddlers are actively seeking out information, they learn quickly and easily, and are especially interested in demonstrating independence. Our classroom environment allows them the freedom to learn as much as they can, as quickly as possible.
This is the time for children to explore and discover through active play, since children learn best by doing. In addition, our educators give toddlers responsive, individualized attention to help build skills in:
-
Sensory and Perception
-
Self-help
-
Language
-
Physical and Motor Skills
-
Social and Emotional Growth
Afterschool
for Kindergarten kids
Minidoo offers flexible afterschool care options tailored to the needs of busy families.
We provide afternoon care with or without lunch, full-day care (e.g. on Wednesdays), and holiday care during school breaks — all subject to availability. Optional pick-up from local kindergartens is available by prior arrangement.
In a safe and nurturing environment, children take part in two afternoon classes in English and German designed to strengthen language skills and build confidence in their kindergarten journey. Our program includes:
• Language Arts (including Phonics in English and German)
• Mathematics
• Geography
• Science and Nature
• Music and Movement
• Sensorial Activities
• Arts and Crafts
• Cultural Awareness
