Toddler
(16 months - 30 months)
Toddlers are eager, energetic learners. They love to say "I did it myself!" At New Horizon Academy, our toddler classrooms are busy, happy places, where children can learn, explore, sing, and dance. Our program for toddlers was designed to encourage each child's growing need for independence, and to foster the development of their self-esteem in a safe, supportive manner. Careful consideration is given to classroom arrangement and the selection of developmentally appropriate materials and equipment to encourage learning at each stage of toddler development.=""
Our Commitment to Excellence continues in our toddler program, and includes:
- Our Triumphant Discoveries curriculum, developed by the Early Childhood experts at New Horizon Academy, with activities planned around a different theme each month, like Shapes or Colors
- Weekly enrichments to each month's theme that will build on your toddler's development and emerging interests and abilities
- Daily communication between parents and caregivers
- Clearly defined and labeled learning centers to help your toddler understand that materials and equipment have a special place
