Welcome to the Purple room

Introduction

Hello and welcome to the purple room! I am Ms. Melissa and I am so excited for the new school year.

Overview

The purple room will provide many opportunities for your toddler’s developmental growth. A daily schedule will be introduced as they will be eased into a single naptime and learning to take longer naps on a cot. They will learn to be more independent and learn to drink from a cup, eat with a spoon and lots of art work! I will keep them very busy and they will learn a lot!

Curriculum

Daily activities will include circle time, reading books, rhythm and music stimulation, sensory activities, imaginative and dress up play, puzzles, art and science. I will post a lesson plan outside the classroom that you may look at anytime. Our lesson plans go for two weeks and are usually around a certain theme. All activities are developmentally appropriate and individualized to meet specific needs of all the children at different stages. The main areas of development that we target are social & emotional, physical, cognitive, language & literacy, math and science.

Communication

Good communication is very important and I will do my best to keep you informed about your child’s day. We use daily sheets to help keep you updated on what they ate, diapering and naptime. I also do a newsletter every week, as well as a weekly update by email of what we did that week.

There is a sign up sheet outside the classroom that I ask you to please sign them in and out daily. There is also a parent communication book so you can tell us of any appointments or days they will not be here. Thank you! I look forward to the new year!
