Program
Ages of Children
Teeny Scribbles is currently designed to provide child care services for up to 8 children between the ages of 6 weeks to 3 years old Monday through Friday from 7:00 am - 5:30 pm.
Infant Program
At Teeny Scribbles we recognize that infancy is one the most important times in a person's life, and that babies are very different from people at all later stages of life. As a matter of fact, the changes our bodies experience throughout the first year of our development will never occur again. Infants go from helpless dependence to mobile independence; from communicating with cries and coos, to understanding quite a vocabulary and using some words of their own; from demands for physical needs being met quickly by anyone, to very particular demands from social responses from very specific people (Gestwicki, 2011). In an effort to encourage your baby's optimal development, our program provides a stimulating environment where infants will receive the prompt, consistent, and nurturing care that they need.
Infant Program Highlights
Daily Schedule
At Teeny Scribbles, the majority of an infant's day will consist of caregiving routines: soothing, feeding, diapering, and sleeping - all of which provide opportunities for one-on-one interactions between the caregiver and the infant. It is through these ongoing routines, that infants are able to form a bond and attachment with the caregiver.
Throughout the day, caregivers will pay close attention, and respond appropriately, to each infant's signals and communications that express their individual wants and needs.
* Please note that we will maintain a daily record reporting all eating, sleeping, and elimination events, as well as the activities your infant participated in each day upon request.

Toddler Program
Our toddler program is designed for children between the ages of 15 months and 3 years old.
At Teeny Scribbles, we recognize that toddlers are centered on exploring everything in their environment. Within a year of life, toddlers have made dramatic gains in physical mobility and dexterity, in language understanding and sound production, and in their ability to actively explore the world around them (Gestwicki, 2011). With a decreased need for sleep, and an increased need for physical activity, our program has created an environment, which engages the toddler to safely explore, and discover their surroundings freely.

Toddler Program Highlights
- Our caregiver to child ratio of 1:4, with a group of 8, makes it possible for our caregivers to meet the demanding needs of a toddler, which may include: an increased need for physical activity - due to their newly acquired motor skills; responsive care to their tremendous inquisitiveness; positive contribution to their sense of autonomy and personal will, and freedom to safely explore and discover the environment.
- Caregivers are trained to provide positive guidance and direction to toddlers as they learn to express themselves.
- We attempt to supplement each toddler's desire for independence by giving them daily tasks, and allowing them to do some things for themselves such as safely exploring the environment, and making choices throughout the day.
- We prepare and provide an array of activities that will continuously contribute to their overall development such as sensory, language, cognitive, and physical activities.
