Our Programs
The Jaycees Early Learning Center provides care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Please see the attached description of the various program we offer.
Infant Program
Our infant program is geared towards providing quality care for the infants; keeping the children healthy; and helping them develop
physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Major emphasis is on health, safety and sanitation procedures as well as providing developmentally appropriate stimulation activities.
Individualized lesson plans, schedules and activity periods are planned and implemented for each infant. Teachers interact with the children
throughout the day; talking to them, singing and repeating fingerplays and making sure that their needs are being met.
Toddler Program
Our toddler program is designed to help the children grow and develop physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Toddlers have matured past the point of being completely dependent on adults for meeting their needs. However, they are ready for some small group activities. Most of their day is still devoted to individual time and independent activity.
Toddlers spend a majority of their waking time in the activities area or outdoors except for the time that they are being fed or diapered. We believe that children learn best through play. Careful planning of a variety of learning experiences ensures a stimulating and productive day for the toddlers. We allow children to choose freely the activity that most interests them.
Two Year Program
Our two year old program is designed to help the children continue to grow and develop. Their day is somewhat more structured than the toddlers and their activities are based on weekly units which are devised to teach them about new concepts. At this age they are introduced to the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors on a regular basis. They have a circle time in the morning and the afternoon during which they discuss the unit and review the basic concepts.
Three year program
Children continue to grow in all areas as they enter the three year old room. They continue to have a weekly unit on which they base their
circle time, art activity and story time. They continue to work on their alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors in addition to learning to identify their name. They also begin to learn more about their community
and the world outside of home and school in this classroom.
Four Year Old Program
Our four year old program is devised to prepare the children for kindergarten. We
concentrate on pre-readiness skills such as the letters of the alphabet, writing their names, phonics, word recognition, mathematical concepts, science projects, etc.
Children of this age exhibit increased cognitive skills by asking a lot of questions and
showing a greater interest in their community. We foster this development by providing activities and learning centers that allow them to choose the area in which they are most interested. There are a variety of individual and teacher led activities which encourage the children's natural curiosity and desire to learn.
School Age Program
During the school year we assist children in doing their homework and provide
them with activities that foster what they have learned in school. The teachers also plan art activities which allow the children to use their own special tale nts and creativity. The activities are designed to promote creativity, decision making s kills, verbal and writing skills, sportsmanship and cognitive abilities.
