TODDLER CLASS
About our Toddler Care
12 months to 2 ½ Years
​
Our toddler classroom is where we begin to teach your child to be an independent young person. For most, it will be their first experience with preschool education, introducing a daily schedule with planned activities.
​
A main focus in the classroom is developing communication. This includes learning to listen and follow directions, speaking words, and building phrases and sentences. These skills will allow the child to take part and find their way in the world. They are encouraged to touch, feel, explore, and discover to develop their natural curiosity, imagination, and love for learning.
Students enjoy a variety of planned activities that include arts and crafts, singing, dancing, and pre-reading skills such as rhyming and story time. All the activities and materials are designed to teach the children skills that will give them a strong foundation for healthy learning.
