Canal Town Nursery School presents:
Mommy and Tot
Registration Form for Mommy and Tot
Mommy
and Tot is a unique theme-based program that is
designed to be entertaining and educational for children as well as fun for
their moms (or dads).
Each class has a different theme with projects,
stories, snacks, music & movement that reflect the current theme. This provides the children with a well
rounded program that is structured, organized and fun. The classes are different each week (or
month) yet they maintain a familiar routine that is important for the children.
Each
class includes:
Circle
Time: A time to get
to know one another by joining together for finger plays, poems and songs.
Story
Time: Enjoy hearing
a story while introducing the children
to the wonderful world of reading. Simple
age appropriate stories that incorporate textures to feel and hands-on
involvement such as lift the flaps.
Arts
& Crafts: Children
will complete a project to take home during every class. What a
feeling of accomplishment!
Music
and Movement: A
fun opportunity to strenghten muscles and improve coordination with songs,
dance and exercise. Physical activities
to stimulate development that include parachute, musical instruments, bubbles,
tunnel, ride-on toys and more. This is a
special opportunity for quality time between parent and child.
Snack: A time for
socialization. A snack and drink is
provided for each child.
Free
Play: Children can
explore at their own pace while making friends and learning. Toys include blocks, stacking rings, musical
toys, stuffed animals, pop up toys, puzzles and lots more.

Mommy and Tot
program goals
Aiding in early childhood
socialization
The
Mommy and Tot program helps babies/toddlers discover their connections to other
people and build friendships by nurturing bonds between playmates.
Promoting the development of
physical and cognitive skills
The
program helps babies/toddlers develop their knowledge of the world around them
through play. As children get older,
continued Mommy and Tot/Canal Town Nursery School experiences help build their
creativity, motor skills and social emotional skills.
Building parent-child bonds
The
program design focuses on the bond
between children and their parents, who are often the child's first
playmates. This goal supports the bond of parent-child through
play; which is equally as important as our goal to aid in early childhood
development. When parents enter their
child's world of play and imagination, the child blossoms with more confidence
to explore and learn. Time spent playing
with mom or dad contributes to healthy emotional development and also builds
trust between parent and child.
Building parent-parent bonds
Most parents are looking for the opportunity not only to play with their children,
but also to meet and bond with other like-minded parents. Mommy and Tot can provide this through a
designated “Mommy Time”, a 20 minute period following each play session in
which parents from the group are encouraged to stick around and chat.
