At this age, children begin to become more and more social with their peers. They are expressing their needs and wants not only to caregivers, but to the children around them. Building self confidence and independence is a key focus in the toddler year as children are encouraged to do simple day to day tasks such as select their snack, put items away in their cubbies, and help prepare their nap area.  Teachers and parents work closely together as children approach developmental milestones throughout the year.  Diapering occurs every two hours, unless needed more often. Naptime occurs in the middle of the day, after lunch.

in these classrooms, we reach towards developmental milestones such as...

  • Verbal and social skills through interacting with peers, sharing, and expressing ourselves through words
  • Practical life skills such as feeding ourselves, throwing away trash, and sitting in a chair
  • Emotional identification un order to aide in sharing feelings as well as utilized as a tool in conflict resolution
  • Fine motor skills through new art materials being introduced
  • Mindfulness through breathing exercises and classroom yoga practice
  • Exploring the world around us through unique sensory experiences with water, food, playdough, sand, slime, and more
  • Gross motor development through indoor/outdoor play spaces
  • Recognition skills through pictures, books, and a diverse vocabulary in the room
  • Language development through rhyme, rhythm, circle time, and stories
  • Exploring, Experimenting, Engaging!
