Toddler Program

Our toddler lesson plans are designed around the latest early brain research and include developmentally appropriate and engaging activities to support development in all early learning domains for toddlers. Learning domains include:

Our classrooms are designed to encourage a toddler’s need for independent exploration and to encourage learning at each stage of toddler development. Our carefully designed toddler classrooms offer the following four activity zones:

• Welcoming and Routines – This is the area where your toddler will store personal belongings and participate in the many routines that are integral to a successful day. Here, your toddler will eat meals, wash hands, brush teeth, learn to use the bathroom, and grow in their ability to dress themselves for outside play.

• Creative – This is where your toddler will explore art and sensory materials, like paints, watercolors, play dough, glue, and construction paper, along with many things to measure, sort, pour, sift, stir, and count.

• Active and Busy – Toddlers need to move. Jumping, hopping, climbing, crawling, and dancing engage their brains and build connections that form the basis for many skills. In our Active and Busy area, our toddlers use equipment like push-, pull-, and riding toys, blocks, tunnels, climbing structures, and soft mats, along with music and instruments to encourage singing and rhythmic movement.

• Calm and Cozy – Even the busiest toddlers need a comforting place to take a break from a busy day. This area includes books and toddler-sized furniture for snuggling and cuddling, as well as materials for quiet, contemplative play, like puzzles and manipulative toys.

Each day, you will receive updates through a mobile app which allows our teachers to share information as needed, send messages, and delight you with photos via e-mail. You are also welcome to use it to send your child’s teacher a message.
