Stimulating growth through structured play and learning

As the toddlers continue to mature, they are moved into our Toddler I classroom, which is for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years. The children begin to have a more structured day, which prepares them for our Toddler II classroom. In the Toddler I class, our curriculum expands by continuing the teaching of colors, numbers, and shapes, increasing vocabulary, counting, and conducting art projects.

Curriculum

In our toddler classroom, we encourage each child to learn how to make choices. We have designed the classrooms in such a way that each child can learn on an individual basis by choosing a work to engage in. In the toddler classrooms, we will continue to focus on the six developmental domains. We will develop math/cognitive, sensory, art, motor skills, and manual and movement.

Our staff will implement lesson plans that will increase their skills development in a variety of age-appropriate activities. Each morning and afternoon, the children will participate in group time. They will work on recognizing shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. They will also introduce the calendar and weather elements. In addition, we will encourage healthy social interactions by making sure each child is aware of their friend’s feelings and helping them to engage in constructive play with other children.

The children will be exploring the outside world with outside play time, both in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting). The children will enjoy a wonderful playground with age-appropriate equipment where they can climb, run, and ride bikes.
