Emergent language skills, including speech development and listening skills are encouraged through music and interactive children’s literature. Physical development including fine and gross motor skills, fill our toddlers’ day with exploring, excitement, and self-discovery. Our toddlers’ day is enhanced by our purposeful play based on meaningful thematic topics, enriched by both indoor and outdoor experiences.

STREAM: Relationships are essential for infants and toddlers to foster social, emotional, physical, and brain development. As a toddler moves from infancy to toddlerhood, relationships expand from parents and trusted Early Childhood Specialist to additional children and perhaps an additional team member in their daily life. Continued bonding, developing self-help skills, and successfully exploring additional boundaries, begins to give very young children a sense of self-confidence.

Artist In Residence: Painting, coloring, and discovering the sensory table give each child plenty of art experiences to look forward to. Drama or dramatic play allows our toddlers to mimic the roles of mommy or daddy, by gently holding a doll, pushing the grocery cart, cooking a yummy dinner, or sharing a book with a teddy bear.

Kindness Counts: Building on trustworthiness, caring and empathy are introduced as part of guiding our young friends to be gentle with each other. Our Early Childhood Specialist invites individual children to join her in offering a soothing word or deed to a child in emotional distress. It is always a celebrated moment when children begin to intrinsically display this support spontaneously to their friends.

With an even balance of teacher facilitated activities and child-initiated discovery, an optimal environment equals a perfect place where your toddler will thrive.
