Welcome to the Crawler Room

• Teachers
• Things you will Need for the First Day!
• Daily Schedule
• Cognitive & Sensory

We would like to welcome you to the crawler room! In this room, we encourage the development of large motor skills such as crawling, pulling up and walking. Small motor skills are developed through various activities such as using a spoon, paintbrush, and sorting toys. Social skills are developed during group snack time, lunch, art, and reading time. Children experience a wide variety of options while using the multipurpose room and during outside time. In the crawler room, we encourage the use of a sipper cup and work on introducing new table foods.

Although we do have a daily schedule, times may vary due to the child's individual schedule, inclement weather, etc. We are always available for any questions or concerns that you may have. Please feel free to give us a call during the day to check in during this transition. We look forward to caring for your child!

Daily Schedule

Please Note: These are flexible schedules, subject to change, and all outdoor activities are weather permitting.

Cognitive & Sensory

Through the use of finger plays and songs we enhance each child's motor skills as well as cognitive skills. They learn simple things like waving, clapping, and peek-a-boo. By doing art projects with the children we enhance sensory skills through finger painting, making foot and handprints, and by playing with different textures (for example: cool whip, water and soap, and pudding).
