Kate goes to Abeona on Mondays and Wednesdays during the same hours as Will (7:30-11:45). Like her brother, her teachers collect information about her activites, mood, and general well-being to give to us on a daily basis.
Usually, Kate’s mood is curious, babbly, and cuddly. She was a little fussy one day and she was sleepy another.She takes a bottle of about 3 oz of breastmilk around 10am from one of the caregivers. Only once has she not finished the bottle (the same day she was sleepy). She follows up her bottle with a nap, generally lasting 15-30 minutes. Most days she has one or two wet diapers. Yesterday, she had two gorpul diapers. Whoa.
Consistent with the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the babies have exploratory learning activities. Kate came home with purple toes yesterday from their feet painting exercise (very cute.)
Will visits her and the other babies almost everyday. Miss Gladys (Kate’s teacher) says that Will checks on the babies regularly, even when Kate isn’t there.
The baby room typically has 4 babies at a given time and often with two caregivers (one teacher and one person who “floats” room to room to help.) Because the school is small, teachers are able to switch rooms to accommodate breaks for lunch and other things. Parents are also in the rooms at times visiting or helping out.
