*Infants and toddlers communicate verbally and nonverbally in varied ways,
including through spoken language, sign language, augmentative and
alternative communication , vocalizations, gestures, gaze,
and facial expressions.
*Let your child step forward in acquiring the four vital skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading) while having fun learning with other children. In addition to these skills, it is important for children to be social and be able to adapt to various different situations.. It is their innate nature to be curious and playful.
Infants:
Although our program’s main focus is to provide safe and loving care for infants, we also believe that we can never be too early in building skills. Playtime enhances sensory development through sight and touch as well as hand-eye coordination and motor skills. We encourage sound mimicking, song and recitation to improve language development and cognition.
Toddlers:
Hickenbottom Family Childcare Home support your child’s beginning steps for growth and development by providing age-appropriate materials and wide-ranging experiences to help them understand their surroundings. They're constantly exploring shapes, size, movements, symbols and sounds.
Our focus is to give our children an area that they can feel safe and be creative. Hickenbottom Family Childcare Home has designed our childcare to focus on the importance of being a kid. We have all the necessary tools available to help their development.
