Messy is always Fun at Kids Edu Caring Place! Our big baby boys are learning self help skills as infants and early toddlers. Yes, we do let them get a little messy! It’s all about setting the space for our little ones to explore feeding themselves with utensils instead of fingers.
The CDC says, “Babies can start to use a spoon by themselves at around 10 to 12 months old. Your child will continue to get better at using tools like spoons and forks. Give your child a chance to use spoons and forks—even if it is messy.”
So how do we encourage our kids to use a spoon to feed themselves? With lots of patience, tons of encouragement (… and a bucket of water ready for cleaning up). Here at Kids Edu Caring Place we’ve created a unique experience incorporating The Creative Curriculum for Preschool and Healthy Beginnings in our enrichment programs. Call us today for a tour of our center 410-433-3186, we accept infants to children age 12.
Our babies are truly growing up right before our eyes. Proud preschool over here!
