Her play-based learning approach fosters creativity, independence, and essential developmental skills. If you’re searching for quality childcare near Lexington, Concord, or Carlisle, MA, here’s what you can expect from a day at Judy's home daycare.
Morning Drop-Off & Welcome Activities
As families arrive, children are welcomed into the inviting space, helping them transition smoothly from home to daycare. Judy encourages self-expression and confidence by allowing children to choose from various independent play activities such as puzzles, blocks, and sensory bins. This morning routine sets a positive tone for the day ahead.
Circle Time: Building Communication & Inclusion
One of the highlights of the morning is circle time, where children gather together to sing songs, listen to stories, and engage in group discussions. This interactive session fosters early literacy, social skills, and inclusion, helping children build confidence and communication abilities.
Play-Based Learning & Exploration
At It’s a Baby World Daycare, we believe that children learn best through play. Our play-based curriculum is designed to develop fine and gross motor skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Activities may include:
Arts & crafts to encourage self-expression
Building blocks & puzzles for cognitive development
Dramatic play to foster imagination and social interaction
Each activity is tailored to be age-appropriate, ensuring that infants, toddlers, and preschoolers all receive engaging and enriching experiences.
Outdoor Learning & Physical Activity
When weather permits, we dedicate time each day to outdoor play in our safe backyard play center. Judy's outdoor space includes:
Climbing structures to develop strength and coordination
Water tables & sandboxes for sensory play and exploration
Ride-on toys & games to encourage gross motor development
Outdoor play allows children to connect with nature, build physical endurance, and explore independently—all crucial aspects of early childhood development.
Rest & Quiet Time
After an active morning and healthy lunch/snack time, children have a chance to recharge with nap time or quiet activities. This allows them to rest their growing bodies and minds, preparing them for the afternoon ahead.
Afternoon Enrichment & Free Play
The afternoon is filled with enriching activities such as:
Music & movement to encourage self-expression
Storytime to develop a love for reading
STEM-based play for early problem-solving and reasoning skills
Children are also given free play opportunities to choose their favorite activities, promoting independence and creativity.
End-of-Day Reflection & Pick-Up
As the day winds down, we come together for a final circle time, where children share their favorite moments of the day. This reflection encourages self-awareness and communication. When parents arrive for pick-up, they receive a brief update on their child’s day, ensuring a smooth transition home.
