Our goal as your child's educators is to guide them, not lead them. We will do this by providing a developmentally appropriate and interesting program and giving them adequate time to explore, play, and interact in a safe and nurturing environment. Our constantly evolving classroom provides varying materials to our programs for toddlers to keep your child's interest and peak their curiosity.

​

• Spatial awareness – begin sharing and cleaning up – being responsible for what they played with and helping others;

• Introduction to colours, shapes, numbers and the alphabet;

• Circle time – discuss the day's weather (hot, cold, rainy, snowy), day of the week, month, season, sing songs, tell stories, read books – thereby enhancing their vocabulary;

• Support outdoor adventures – look for bugs, rocks, flowers, etc. – discuss colours;

• Learn about their bodies – arms, legs, head, shoulders, belly, fingers, toes, ears, nose, eyes;

• Fine motor skills – colouring, painting, rolling/manipulating play–doh, moving small objects;

• Gross motor skills – dancing, exercises, running, jumping, outdoor play;

• Support creativity – pretend play (costumes, playsets, puppets), sensory, provide resources (boxes, ribbons, markers, paint, etc.) and follow their lead in how they are used;

• Introduce toddlers to new experiences/words – new activities, special guests (magician, fireman, policeman, ambulance/attendant, Santa Claus);

• Independent eating – providing appropriate utensils for meal times using sippy cups, offering condiments and letting them choose their preferences;

• Introduction to personal hygiene – washing hands.
