Dear Infant Parents,
Can you believe that the first six weeks of school is already over?! It has been an awesome and challenging time for us and for your babies. In just this short time, we have been able to share some amazing first steps with your little ones. We have seen them sitting up, crawling, rolling, and walking. We have seen new teeth; we have even had one friend move up to an older class.
We want you to know how honored we feel to be able to share these moments with your families. Every day brings exciting and sometimes scary new adventures.
During the next six weeks we would like to continue to work on our schedules. As you might imagine with seven babies, it is very important to have structure and routine. Our goal for our class is to develop a schedule that will meet the needs of our children as a group.
Currently, we have revised our house schedule to include group times (books, music, action songs and rhymes,) free play, outside time, nap, meal and diaper time. Our goal is to provide the same routine each day so that the children can be comfortable in our environment. It is only when they are comfortable that their brains can absorb and learn new things!
We thank you in advance for understanding that each family may have to modify their home schedule to match our school schedule. We know that they may get off schedule when they are ill or on vacation. Ultimately, we are trying to schedule our day like the next older class, room 4.
We want your child to have the best experience while they are at Amarillo Montessori Academy. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Infant House Teachers: Sandra Jefferson, Wanda McCown, and Megan Moore
