Toddlers
A Curriculum Built for Toddlers
Small Steps, Big Discoveries
We know that toddlers are amazing little explorers. They are very eager to learn about the world around them. Our child care teachers are here to help our toddlers as they adjust to the classroom space.
In our Toddler program, your child will go on an exciting journey of discovery. They will learn about colors and sizes, and their vocabulary will grow each day. With the support from our teachers, children will work on their fine and gross motor skills, gaining the confidence to move and explore.
Our program also introduces basic science concepts in a fun and playful way. We focus on helping your child grow while encouraging their natural curiosity.
Students Will Enjoy:
- A structured daily routine with classroom centers and circle time.
- Fun activities to learn letters and numbers in a way that is right for their age.
- Opportunities to explore cause and effect.
- Outdoor play to help build balance and coordination.
Links to Learning in our Toddler Classroom:
Language & Literacy
Every day, our teachers read stories, sing songs, and talk with our toddlers. These activities help them learn new words and practice listening and speaking. Repeating words and phrases makes them feel more comfortable using language to share what they need and want. Our teachers also ask simple questions to encourage toddlers to respond.
Mathematical Thinking
Through toys, games, and puzzles, our toddlers start to recognize shapes, colors, and numbers. Sorting and matching help to build early math skills in our students. Our teachers use hands-on play to introduce these ideas in a fun way, making math easier to grasp.
Social-Emotional Learning
Our toddlers start learning basic self-help skills. They also begin to play side by side, called parallel play. Our teachers guide them in routines, like putting toys away, to help them feel independent and capable. Group activities promote sharing and taking turns.
Wellness
Climbing, running, and handling small objects help make their bodies stronger and more in control. Activities like stacking blocks and coloring develop coordination and grip strength.
Creative Expression
Our toddlers sing songs, dance, paint, and draw. They explore colors, shapes, and sounds, providing new ways to share their ideas and emotions. With crayons, paint, and clay they get a chance to create. Music and dance build their rhythm and movement skills.
Scientific Exploration
Children explore cause and effect, use simple tools, and observe items in nature. They learn about their world by asking questions. Our teachers introduce basic science concepts through activities such as measuring plant growth or exploring with water. Our students practice critical thinking as they make observations and predictions.
