Toddlers
Toddlers/Ones-
Our Toddler Program is designed for children who are full of excitement and ready to explore the world around them. At this stage, toddlers are developing independence, curiosity, and confidence, and our teachers create a safe, engaging environment where learning happens through movement, play, and meaningful relationships.
Toddlers learn best through hands-on experiences, and our classroom days are filled with music, sensory exploration, story time, and guided play. With consistent routines and nurturing support, children begin to build social skills, communication, and self-help abilities at a pace that feels comfortable and encouraging.
Classroom Groups
We have three toddler classrooms, all serving children in the one-year-old stage. Children work toward the same developmental goals and are grouped by birth month for balance and continuity.
Readiness for the Toddler Program
To ensure a smooth and successful transition, children entering the Toddler Program must meet the following criteria:
-
Be at least 12 months old
-
Eat finger foods (no jar or puréed foods served at school)
-
Use a sippy cup and be weaned from a bottle during the day
-
Walk independently and move confidently on various terrains
Developmental Goals
Throughout the year, teachers work closely with each child to support growth in the following areas:
-
Self-feeding with a spoon and fork and using an open cup
-
Following one-step directions
-
Learning and following a daily routine
-
Developing smooth transitions between activities with increasing emotional regulation
-
Combining 2–3 words to communicate wants and needs
-
Expanding expressive vocabulary to 20 words or more
Our Day
We love sunny days and being outdoors whenever possible. Each morning begins with outdoor play at 8:30 AM, following breakfast and a morning diaper change, helping toddlers release energy and start the day engaged and ready to learn.
Throughout the day, children participate in a variety of activities including art, story time, sensory play, blocks and building, dress-up, puzzles, and center play. Because toddlers are constantly on the move, diaper changes take place approximately every two hours.
Lunch: 11:30 AM
Nap Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
After nap and diaper changes, children return outside for more active play before winding down the afternoon with story time and classroom centers.
