Les Enfants at Trinity

Now accepting children at 15 months!

October 16, 2014
Les Enfants at Trinity is now accepting children as young as 15 months for a 2 day a week Busy Bee program, who are 15 months by August 31, 2013. There is also availability for children 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 years old, born between March of 2009 and May of 2010.

The big news at Les Enfants is that they have recently been awarded national accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children! NAEYC is the world's largest organization dedicated to excellence in early chilhood education. They set professional standards for schools and centers to achieve. It is a long and in depth process and only 6 programs in the Greater New Orleans area are NAEYC accredited. Les Enfants at Trinity is proud to gain this recognition and offer their children a high quality program that is NAEYC accredited. 

Les Enfants' program includes a variety of learning experiences to assist in the overall development of your child:  intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. Les Enfants believes the challenge of their teachers is to work with each child as an individual and to find the key to his/her potential. They believe in the need for each child to feel successful, to learn at his/her own pace, and to develop independence and confidence.

Specific objectives include teaching a child how to:

* Happily leave home and parents.
* Learn to share, make friends, express feelings in acceptable ways, and participate in group activities.
* Develop a sense of responsibility by expecting him/her to help at pick-up time, to use materials properly, and to observe group rules, such as taking turns and treating teachers and friends with respect and courtesy.    
* Develop language skills such as following directions, sharing ideas and stories in group discussions, listening at story time and participating in singing activities.
* Develop large and small motor skills through climbing, tumbling, riding bikes, using scissors, working puzzles, playing games.
* Develop thinking skills through matching, sorting, sequencing, and searching for answers to “Why?” “How?” “What?” “Where?”
* Develop creative expression through painting, pasting, dramatic play, block and manipulative play, music and movement.
