Toddlers

Our Program

Our curriculum offers toddlers opportunities to explore the environment according to their capabilities, interests, and developmental needs. Our teachers build environments and strategies that support, nurture, and challenge the needs and issues of the toddlers in their care. Our toddler teachers have designed a classroom, curriculum, and outdoor space that address the very specific and important developmental characteristics of an active toddler; they have specific training in “toddlerhood” and attend training and conferences on the subject of early educational development throughout the year.
Our curriculum reflects the latest research and standards for early childhood development, academic preparation and socialization skills.

The Toddler classroom has a variety of creative centers: 

• A sensory area such as tables filled with sand, water, or any other interesting substance for children to develop and explore with different senses; 
  
• A manipulative area to build, snap, connect, twist, push, turn, and, thus, helping to develop emerging fine motor skills; 
  
• An art area to experiment with various materials, providing an opportunity for self-expression and creativity; 
  
• A book area in a cozy corner to explore print and to share books with friends and teachers 
  
• A dramatic play area to coax the development of cooperative and imaginative play; and a space to sing, dance, listen to stories, and discover language. 

The day’s schedule, while flexible, will include free choice activities, a short group gathering, outdoor play, snack, story time, and free play.
