The Toddler years are full of excitement and growth.  Our program is designed to encourage your toddler to learn through play while encouraging (and noticing) individual interests. By promoting independence and developing an emerging awareness of social behavior, we help young learners expand their world beyond the home to the school community. Teachers support growing independence by increasing a child’s ability to communicate by modeling language. Children enjoy free play to allow creativity and imagination to flourish. Opportunities for children to engage in free play, puppets, singing, and dancing abound.  Toddlers will be taught through poems, finger plays, puppets, singing, and rhyming.  Many opportunities are provided to increase a child’s ability to communicate by developing active listening and expressive language skills.  Throughout the day children make self-directed, but carefully guided choices, participate in small groups, take part in circle time, and build the confidence needed to try new things.
