ACTIVITIES & CURRICULUM

The main goal of Treasured Tots childcare is to have fun, improve social skills and encourage creative expression. Treasured Tots will utilize a variety of activities to accomplish this goal. Free play, reading, arts & crafts, music/singing, dancing, dramatic play/pretend, games and puzzles are just some of the activities we will be doing.

Treasured Tots have created our own curriculum with the help of the internet, books and Ontario Earlier Years Centres that specialize in early learning for child.
 

Themes
MONTHLY THEMES WEEKLY THEMES
There is a monthly theme to our curriculum to help familiarize the child with the repetitiveness of the theme.

Themes sorted by: music, songs or poems, video, books, arts and crafts, snacks, games, basic science, coloring book pages and show and tell. The Treasured Tots puts this all together adding both monthly and weekly themes. For infants, Treasured Tots try as much as possible to include in the fun but baby size for them. We do activities through the week and month to teach themes.

We have theme party at the end of each week for both weekly themes and monthly themes. Treasured Tots is where kids can have fun while learning...
There will also be a weekly theme. Children will be introduced to letter, shape, color, and number recognition. Some of the activities include arts & crafts, music, snacks, science, stories and games. It will not be a rigorous academic program as young children still learn best from participating in and observing the environment around them.

Music helps to develop young brains and will play a strong role in day-to-day activities. We may have special music activities and may also play music during other activities, for example, during arts & crafts. Your child will be exposed to many types of music such as Children’s music, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s Pop rock, Classical music and more.  Anything that will get them moving...
 
 
Daycare Space
LEARNING CORNER
Our learning corner promotes early literacy and language development by engaging your child in circle time and quite time with books and games and worksheets.  Our daily circle time includes discussion about: weather, calendar (day/date/month), songs (rhyme, rhythm, or repetition) and of course story time.  We provide a warm, accepting atmosphere for reading and writing by responding to children's requests for reading and rereading favorite stories.

 

CREATIVE ARTS AREA
Your child will have the opportunity to explore different art media's like painting (water colours, tempera, finger painting), drawing (crayons, markers, oil pastels), sculpting (play dough, clay) and other themed crafts, well practicing important fine motor skills (writing, cutting, sorting.  They will also explore music with percussion instruments and singing.
 



 

DRAMATIC PLAY AREA

Children of any age still learn the best from dramatic play.  We offer your child the chance to experience themed play (pirates, circus, camping, etc) as well as everyday themed play (Kitchen/cooking, store, bank, parenting etc). With props and encouragement each week we will stimulating your child's creative thinking with dramatic play and fun learning experiences. This will help them explore their own feelings, and understand and deal with the world around.


 

Physical Activities and Nutrition Program

Toddlers are in a critical time for motor skill development, both gross motor and fine motor skills. We continually provide indoor and outdoor activities that promote healthy physical development.  We also  follow the Canadian Food Guide in our meal plan and promote a taste for nutritious foods with you child by introducing new foods and repetition of healthy foods.
