WOBBLER (12-17 months)

Our 1 year olds classroom, at Heritage Christian Daycare & Learning Center, is specially designed to accommodate your child. We recognize that wobblers are naturally curious about the things that surround them so we take advantage of this natural curiosity to encourage a love of learning in a warm and safe environment with positive interactions that help a 1 year old's sense of trust and self-esteem.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1 YEAR OLD WOBBLERS CLASSROOM​

• Each day our Center provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks at no additional charge.
• Our staff understands the importance of communication. Each day they prepare an informative report for your review, listing all information regarding feeding, napping, diapering, and what your child especially enjoyed that day. These reports have proven very helpful to our families.
• Our children spend their day in a warm, nurturing environment. This positive environment improves their confidence and self-esteem and helps for a life-long love of learning.
• Our staff members are very aware of the importance of a safe and sanitary environment for our children. Each toy is sanitized twice daily. Our changing table is sanitized after each use, and we practice good hand washing techniques.
• Parents are always welcome in our class. You will find our teachers to be supportive of parents and they always encourage their involvement.

WOBBLER CURRICULUM​
