Starting in January 2022, we are only offering infant care on a fulltime basis of 5 days per week. The infant curriculum is planned to meet the developmental needs of the individual child to include opportunities to build language, social, cognitive, and physical skills as well as meet their individual emotional and spiritual needs.

First Steps (12-24mo): In this room children are served menu items and are assisted in feeding themselves. Bottles are discouraged but will be permitted during transition into this classroom as needed. Bottles must arrive at the center already prepared. Children must sit down at a table to enjoy their bottle; bottles may not be carried around the classroom. Each bottle must be labeled with the child's name and the date. Children will not be put down for a nap with a bottle. Second Steps (24-36mo): Curriculum is planned to meet the developmental needs of the individual children and includes opportunities to build language, social, cognitive, physical, and self-help skills. Sensory experiences such as water and sand play will be offered. Children will start to build beginning writing skills by experiences with crayons, markers and painting. Children will experience literature through short stories and cardboard books that are read to them and available for them to “read”. Outside play will be offered each day as well as inside large muscle development activities.

The curriculum is based on an “active learning through play” model. The space will be arranged in learning centers that vary with time to include: 1. Manipulative Builds math and language skills, develops fine motor control 2. Dramatic Play: Encourages social interaction and creative thinking 3. Art: Develops creative thinking, builds fine motor skills. Children are encouraged to explore the materials and the process rather than focus on the product. 4. Blocks: Builds basic math skills and develops spatial awareness. 5. Sensory Play: Builds social skills and quantity concepts used in later math. 6. Language Centers: Builds a love of literature basic concepts of print as communication and listening skills as well as letter recognition.

The curriculum is based on an “active learning through play” model. The space will be arranged in learning centers much like the centers in Preschool Beginnings with a focus on written language development and creative expression.

Camp Children attend Kindergarten through 6th grade at a public or private elementary school and attend Trinity when their school is not in session following Edmonds School District Calendars.
