Curtis, Denielle and Geordan!

Geordan starts a new school tomorrow. Check it out here. It’s the Adlerian Child Care center. I like the site and the location is near both our house and Denielle’s new store. I was impressed with the outdoors area. It looked very well kept. I also know the director. So today will be spent pressing out his clothes and getting thing ready for tomorrow. We’ll put him down for a nap at 11 - whether he likes it or not. The we’ll be sure to get him into bed early.

Here are some of the things on the curriculum:

21 - 24 months

• Role play toilet training
• Role play dressing self and practice dressing self to song
• On floor with dolls that encourage dressing or the dressing cube
• Practice blowing noses by pretending to be elephants trumpeting
• Let child color with marker
• Make foot prints with fingerpaint
• Fence painting outside
• Ask child to tell you about his dolls and toys, or what his toys and dolls are doing
• Practice hopping and jumping with child
• Listen to tape recording of familiar sounds and ask children to identify
• String beads
• Paint with sponges, brushes, wheels of toy cars and trucks
• Encourage concern for fellow students by clapping for each other when we complete tasks
• Encourage connectedness by having students give hugs or handshakes to say hello and good-bye
• Puppets to role play familiar scenarios
• At table playing tea party
• Have child “read” you a book or hold book for you to read
