How Does Your Infant Learn?

We love our infant program! Our infant team is incredibly dedicated and highly knowledgeable about infant and toddler development. An infant's first form of communication is by crying. When an infant cries, he/she is only communicating their needs and interests. Parents and caregivers are the infant's first teacher and it is vital that we do our best to provide opportunities for our infants to explore what's around him/her.  So how do we give opportunities to our infants so that they can explore? Our curriculum coordinator, Nicole Chisolm recommends spending lots of "face time" with your infant. Talk to your infant as you would to an older child or adult. By talking to your infant, you are promoting language.  Be sure to point out objects and people to your infant within your environment as this will help your infant to associate the object with the name.

Infants love to put objects in their mouth. This is commonly known as mouthing. Mouthing helps your infant to feed a need to better know the world around them. By mouthing, infants are able to determine textures, shapes, sounds, and tastes.

By providing your infant opportunities to see, hear, taste, and touch, you are helping your infant to build his/her motor development as well as social and emotional development.

CCOA Steiner Ranch, are you Ready for Summer Camp?

Summer is fast approaching us, which means it is time to start thinking about summer camp!  CCOA at Steiner Ranch kicked off a great camp last year titled, Jammin' in the Jungle; and we are very excited to roll out our New Summer Camp 2012 theme: A Summer Under the Rainbow.  We are privileged to be a part of the exclusive Steiner Ranch Community which gives us access to close and fun activities throughout the summer.  Last summer we enjoyed activities in the park, ice cream at Cups-n-Cones, lunch at the Boat House Grill and many more activities that spanned our great city.  This year we are planning a summer long-city wide scavenger hunt amongst our three schools.  The campers will be given the opportunity to explore the hidden gems of not only Steiner Ranch but Austin as well.

   We not only offer a summer camp program for campers kindergarten through fifth grade, but we also provide a fun-filled summer for children starting at 8 weeks to five years.  Each week will be filled with fun recipes, crafts, and activities that correspond with our camp them. CCOA Steiner also offers morning swimming lessons, these fill up fast, so reserve your spot quick! Stop by the front office today or call today and speak to someone about signing your child up today.  Enrollment packets are ready!
