Day Care for Infants - 6 weeks until walking
At the Sunbeam Children’s Center we strive to meet the specific needs of each baby in a variety of ways. Each baby is held, talked to, read to, and sung to by loving, nurturing staff members. Our schedule also offers ample “tummy time” and opportunities for playing and learning with other babies. A variety of age appropriate toys for both younger and older infants is always available for the babies to explore. The babies in our care are also introduced to simple Bible stories.

Day Care for Pre-Toddlers - in the early stages of walking
The Pre-Toddler class is available as needed for children who are in the early stages of walking. This class is a transition class from the Infant Room to the Toddler class. The children transition to eating at a table, sleeping on cots, and drinking solely from a sippy cup (no bottles). In this class, the children learn to follow a planned schedule with snack time, outdoor play time, lunch time, nap time, and activity time. The children in the class are introduced to simple structured time including some table activities and more organized play. The children continue to enjoy being read to, sung to, and cuddled in this class. They also are read simple Bible stories and introduced to simple Bible songs.

Day Care for Toddlers - must be walking
We recognize that toddlers still require schedules that are individualized to their specific needs, but toddlers are also ready for more "structure" in their daily routines. Our toddler teachers continue to talk, read, and sing with each child, but also begin introducing activities within a group setting. In addition, our toddlers' schedule offers ample opportunity to learn through playing and exploring. We offer a wide variety of activities that aid in language development and gross and fine motor skills. The toddlers are briefly introduced to the colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and various themes through a variety of activities. Our toddlers also enjoy a weekly Bible story and related art project shared by our Director or other staff members.
