Your infant will nap according to their own
schedules. Infants will be placed on their backs to
sleep in a crib in accordance with DYFS guidelines.
Our cribs each have a firm, tight fitting mattress to
meet current safety standards. To ensure your child’
s safety, we will not use pillows, quilts, bumpers,
comforters or stuffed toys. We will place the crib
sheet and crib blankets/receiving blankets on your
child that you provide. The crib sheets will be sent
home each Friday or more frequently based upon
the needs of your child. Please be sure to wash
them and return them for your child’s next day of
school!

We will nap waddlers according to their own individual
schedule; however our goal is for waddlers to
transition to one two-hour nap per day. Waddlers will
be sleeping on mats. Waddlers will need a crib sheet,
blanket, and pillowcase to store their sleeping
belongings in. Waddlers are permitted to bring a
special blanket for rest time to assist them in feeling
comfortable and secure.

We understand how critical the first years of your
child’s life are for brain and language development. We are here to
provide your child with a loving, nurturing environment in which
they can safely explore and investigate their environment.

provide your child with a loving, nurturing environment in which
they can safely explore and investigate their environment.
Physical Development will include both fine and large motor activities
such as reaching, grasping, crawling, standing, walking, climbing,
throwing, etc.
Language Development where the children will explore music, songs,
sounds, reading, puppet play, and other creative art and movement
activities.
Cognitive Development where the children will be introduced to
spatial relations, object permanence, collecting, sorting, and
cause/effect. This also includes sensory exploration where the
children will be exposed to different textures, colors, patterns,
shapes, scents, tastes, and sounds.
Social Development will be encouraged as staff develops supportive,
loving relationships with each child. Staff will lead small group
activities that may include 2-4 children and encourage their positive
interactions with one another.
Noah’s Ark follows the Creative Curriculum. Everything we do throughout
each day is part of our curriculum—from the minute you enter the classroom
to diapering, meal times, singing, physical movement and play, free play, and
more! Every experience is a learning opportunity.
In addition to the individual daily routine moments, Noah’s Ark Staff plan for
more organized activities that will support your child’s development. Some
of the organized activities may include (but are not limited to the following):
