    Toddler Curriculum

    (Age One & Walking Through Three & Potty-Trained)

    Our terrific toddlers are busy all day long. Our energetic teachers and small group atmosphere is an ideal environment for your child to grow and learn. Toddlers are beginning to think about their actions, solve problems and understand language. During the school day, your child will engage in activities such as jumping, rolling, walking and waving. Teachers will introduce concepts such as sharing, talking, self-discipline and simple table manners. We will also provide your child with a variety of cognitive concepts. Your toddler will be introduced to colors, numbers, shapes, as well as letters and pre-emergent phonetic sounds using the Whole Language approach. Your toddler is welcome to learn with us!
