Toddler Program (1 to 2 year olds)

Our Toddler program is designed to develop and reinforce each toddler's individual needs. Toddlers have grown into the mobile stage and are walking and exploring their fascinating environment. We have added tons of fun learning activities into your child's schedule. As a toddler, your child is engaged with songs, finger plays, and exciting games which encourage learning and cooperation. As their fine-motor and gross-motor skills develop, they learn how to feed themselves, hold a crayon, and paint with a brush.

Social and Emotional Skills

We start with the toddlers becoming aware of their classmates and move on to encouraging simple sharing activities. Your child will be encouraged to wave goodbye and take turns stacking blocks. We also assist toddlers with exploring all of their emotions, from joy to frustration. Children begin to gain the skills needed, such as patience, cooperation, and sharing to deal with all of their emotions in a calm, supportive manner.

Communication Skills

Our caring teachers have a deep understanding of how toddlers communicate. They teach toddlers to put their wants and needs into words. Toddlers are encouraged to sing simple songs, recite nursery rhymes, and expand their vocabularies.

Fine Motor Skills

Toddlers' fine motor skills, which include finger and hand movements, need to be encouraged in many different ways in order for them to progress. We offer a wide variety of activities for your child to develop his/her fine motor skills, ranging from finger painting, to picking up finger foods, to nesting blocks, puzzles and table toys.

Gross Motor Skills

Our program focuses on all gross motor skills, which include ball throwing, climbing, balancing, kicking, walking, and running.

Cognitive Skills

Cognitive skills include thinking, learning, and the accumulation of knowledge. Our program focuses on toddlers' exploration of their environment. Your toddler will begin to sort toys by shape and color and will be encouraged to identify facial features.
