Infant Care (6 Weeks old to 15 months old):

Although the Augusta School is licensed for 12 infants we keep the room enrollment capped at nine. This not only allows us to have a 1:3 ratio but for more one on one interactions between child and teacher. Creating a nurturing, loving and secure environment is our main goal. The benefits of this home-like atmosphere enable our infant caregivers to evaluate each child allowing for a program to be designed to suit individual needs. Developmental progress is achieved through activities that provide one-to-one child/caregiver contact. The activities are curriculum based and encourage large and small motor development, emotional, social and transitional skills. Teachers use the ProCare app to keep parents updated on feedings (both time and amount), diaper changes and naps throughout the day.

Toddler Care (15 months old – 24 months old):

Our toddler room is licensed for 10 children but in keeping with our principle of creating loving and secure environments we cap our enrollment at eight. This allows us to have a ratio of 1:4 and for teachers to have more individual interactions with the children. All aspects of our structured toddler program emphasize education, individuality, communication and independence. Our teachers ensure that each child will progress appropriately by carefully evaluating their development on a continual basis. The children are given opportunities to further their development through a curriculum strong in large and small motor skills, social and emotional development as well as language skills. Through activities in art, music, sign language, creative play, and exercise the goals of the toddler curriculum are met. Parents are kept updated throughout the day on their child's diaper changes, what they ate for provided meals, activities for the day as well as pictures through the ProCare app.

Two Year Old:

At Augusta School, our two year old program will provide each child with endless experiences in development and education providing a strong base for a successful future. Although we are licensed to have twenty children, we cap the class enrollment at sixteen children, this allows us to keep a smaller ratio of 1:8. Our two year old program continues to focus on each child as an individual while providing a structured environment. Incorporated in each child’s daily activities will be language arts, music, dramatic play and art. The teachers will continue to encourage growth in the areas of social, emotional, and language skill development. During your child’s experience in the two’s, a vital part of development is potty training. When each child is ready to begin the potty training process, our teachers will work in partnership with the parents and child to make this milestone enjoyable and successful. Teachers keep parents updated on their child's diaper changes, potty training, eating, naps and activities throughout the day through the ProCare app.
