Discover our Toddler Classroom
1 - 2 year olds
Our toddler classroom is a vibrant, nurturing space where children from 12 to 36 months learn, grow, and explore together. We foster a supportive, inclusive environment where each child feels valued. Every day brings new opportunities for growth as we emphasize social, emotional, and cognitive development through play-based learning.
What We Do
Toddlers are constantly learning and developing new skills.
Our program supports their growth through:
-
Language and Communication: Encouraging expression through songs, stories, and interactive play.
-
Motor Skills: Enhancing fine and gross motor skills with activities like blocks, puzzles, and outdoor play.
-
Social Interaction: Promoting positive peer interactions through group activities, social stories, and cooperative play.
-
Cognitive Development: Fostering problem-solving, thinking, and learning through hands-on exploration.
-
Creative Exploration: Stimulating imagination through arts and crafts, music, and sensory activities.
