Investigating & Exploring
Children are now ready to investigate their
world and explore their own individualized creativity.
They need a safe and stimulating environment that will
encourage Learning, ensure self-esteem, and
create a feeling of autonomy:
Home Away From Home Academy is one of the first to
recognize that a child's education can and should
begin as early as 2 to 3 years of age. Our
teachers make learning fun by taking each child beyond
his or her normal daily routine to introduce riding
toys, and large building blocks. He or she will
experience simple math concepts through sorting,
matching and patterning. We will provide
opportunities for physical, social and emotional
development in a nurturing caring atmosphere. Each
toddler has started on a solid path of learning.
Social & Emotional Development
Your child learns to follow simple directions,
to participate in simple routines, respond to praise,
and teach new songs and poems. Self-discipline is
introduced.
Language Development
Your child is motivated to communicate simple
experiences. Teachers will talk and read to your
child, while learning new songs and poems. Your
child will be inspired to use role play, puppets, and
'pretend' games.
Cognitive Development
Your child will learn body parts, their names,
primary colors, and shapes. Your child will begin
to recognize objects, people, and animals using
pictures. Teachers will encourage the use of
manipulative to reinforce cognitive development.
Simple math concepts are introduced such as, sorting and
matching. He/she will learn about seasons, weather,
holidays, and monthly themes.
Motor Skills Development
Your child will engage in many movement
activities such as jumping, crawling, rolling, touching,
running, walking, waving, and climbing.
Teachers will introduce riding toys, a balance beam,
large building blocks, and large balls for throwing,
rolling, and 'basket' games. Teachers will
introduce circle games and concepts such as up, down,
in, and out. He/she will begin using small
drinking cups and spoons, and work with large beads for
stringing. Your child will be inspired to use
crayons, paint brushes, and finger paints and will
explore the use of 3-4 piece puzzles, peg-boards and
shape boxes.
