Toddler Program
​
Our 1 Yr Toddler Program is designed to provide interactive challenges that will encourage our toddlers to emerge from their shell of shyness. This is the true stage of discovery and exploration: children have a natural desire to “push it to the limit” and experience the world around them without boundaries. Driven by curiosity and a newfound sense of confidence, toddlers are more self-aware, expressive and pensive in their daily activities.
​
Our toddler program engages energetic children by inviting them to interact with their environment. We expand classrooms as they go up in age to incorporate more complex manipulatives, play centers and activities. At this age, children mimic what they see, so we work to foster a toddler’s
understanding of safe and socially appropriate behavior.
We Go the Above and Beyond
Secure Access
Your child's safety is critical to us. We use keypad access to ensure only permitted people get access to the facility.
Cleanliness is Everything
We believe that cleanliness is a key part of providing a safe environment. We use Steramine technology to ensure your child's environment is as clean as possible.
Digital Reports
You can easily keep up with your child's social and academic development with our digital reporting.
Communicative
Toddlers have a strong sense of self and possession. You may hear them exclaim “Mine!” or assert themselves with a firm “No!”. At this age, little ones understand instructions, positional phrases and can better express their needs and wants. Toddlers begin to demonstrate literacy skills by identifying people, places and objects by name. They follow along as you read and can sing songs with an understanding of patterns and rhyming sounds through their expanding vocabulary.
Executive Function
-
We encounter pretend play which gives your toddler endless opportunities to practice executive function skills as they organize objects, plans and compete tasks, and explores behavioral and emotional themes.
-
We support age-appropriate independence by allowing your child to do things like feed themselves, put on their clothes, and help put away toys.
Cognitive
Toddlers develop a sense of mathematics in relation to depth, shapes, sizes and quantities. They explore these concepts by filling and dumping objects, stacking or matching puzzle pieces. Their curiosity leads them to think critically as they test new theories out with cause and effect. They also have a newfound awareness and interest in the environment and learning how the world around them works.
Physical Development & Wellness
​Toddlers are so active that they have their own verb: toddle! Running, jumping, spinning and climbing are all signs of a physically fit little one. Their hand-eye coordination is more precise, and they can utilize their muscles to pick up and manipulate new objects. Toddlers also understand safety and health concepts, such as knowing not to touch something hot or understanding that no matter how much they play, bath time is a must.
Social - Emotional
At this age, you may receive your first heartwarming “I love you” from your Toddler. They can sense the emotions of others and show compassion by hugging and drawing near. Toddlers are very expressive of their emotions and begin responding to social situations. Group play and collaborative work are readily embraced as socialization is their favorite new activity.
Creative Expression
Now that your toddler’s fine motor skills are more controlled, they can scribble and doodle little masterpieces. It’s never too early to put pictures on your refrigerator! Toddlers love to dance, wiggle and make sounds in their playful moods. You will notice their individual personalities arise and a sense of humor emerge. The world of make believe comes alive as they act and improvise during playtime.
