Core Learning Time

In our toddler program, the children engage in activities at the table that relate to math, creative representation, and fine motor skills. The children are able to move from activities freely and explore with teacher assistance while they build on these skills.

Active Play

The children develop self-skills as they climb through tunnels, position themselves down the slide, and run across the playground.

Rest Time

Rest time in the Toddler classrooms is based on one nap a day. During this time, toddlers work on comforting themselves and restoring their energy. If the child chooses not to nap, there are quiet activities they may do while others sleep.

Large Group Time

During large group time, the children will engage in daily discussions about theme based topics, read and listen to stories that relate to our weekly theme, and talk about the weather outside. This gives the children a chance to be heard, participate, and build social skills.

Meals & Snacks

Our staff actively engage with the children during every meal time. They encourage and support our young toddlers when it comes to trying new foods, prepared daily in our onsite, licensed, and inspected kitchen. Our toddlers will learn how to drink from a small cup without a lid and how to use utensils.

Small Group Time

Small group time allows children to work on specific concepts for each learning area with a small group of children. Some examples are as follows:

Math: Children start to practice basic concepts of math like sorting toys and counting along with their teachers. As they become more comfortable, they will start counting aloud to themselves.

Science: Children begin to build their understanding of items around them by mixing colors together, exploring nature, and playing with magnets.

Writing: Children practice holding a crayon, putting it to paper, and pushing down to make marks. As they master holding the crayon, they will begin to make squiggle lines and circular marks, before progressing to writing letters.
