Our toddler Curriculum:

Emotional Skills

We encourage 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.

Social Skills

We begin 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. These simple activities are the stepping stones for the later preschool years, when children are developmentally ready to share.

Communication Skills

We have a deep understanding of how toddlers communicate and 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 skills, which include finger and hand movements, need to be encouraged in many different waysmotor in order for them to progress. We offer a wide variety of activities for your child to develop his fine motor skills, ranging from finger painting, to using a pincer grasp to pick up finger foods, to making and manipulating play dough.

Gross Motor Skills

Teachers assist the child with the development of all gross motor skills, which include batting at objects, kicking, walking, jumping and running, as well as improve their hand/eye coordination. You might even see toddlers playing Follow the Leader.

Cognitive Skills

Cognitive skills include thinking, learning, and the investigation of their environment. Your toddler will begin to sort toys by shape and color and will be encouraged to identify facial features by reciting fun finger plays.

Nurturing Essential Emotional Skills

We recognize that toddlers experience a full spectrum of feelings, from pure joy to intense frustration. Our responsive staff encourages children to explore these emotions and gain crucial skills like patience, cooperation, and sharing. This warm, supportive environment helps your child confidently navigate their inner world and prepares them for successful social interactions.

Building Foundational Communication Skills

Effective communication is key to early learning. We have a deep understanding of how toddlers express themselves and actively teach them to translate their wants and needs into clear language. Children are encouraged to participate in reciting nursery rhymes, singing simple songs, and engaging in activities designed to continually expand their vocabulary.

Developing Fine Motor Coordination

Hand and finger dexterity is critical for tasks like writing and self-feeding later on. We offer a wide variety of activities designed to encourage these movements in many ways. From interactive finger painting and manipulating play dough, to developing the precise pincer grasp needed for snacks, your toddler is constantly building essential fine motor skills.

Fostering Cognitive Skills and Exploration

Cognitive skills encompass the exciting processes of thinking, learning, and investigating the environment. Our curriculum encourages your toddler to identify facial features and begin to sort toys by attributes like shape and color. Through fun, play-based learning and engaging exploration, we foster a deep curiosity that drives continuous early learning.
