Toddler Program

In providing programs for toddlers, our teachers understand that these children learn with their whole bodies. They learn more by doing than by being told. Toddlers discover their world on a physical level, so it is expected that they will prefer walking, climbing, carrying objects, dumping, or dropping objects to sitting, picking up toys, or playing only in a designated space.

Large muscle activities are the legitimate activity for toddlers.

In teaching and caring for toddler, our teachers are prepared to be flexible and spontaneous. Because they are active explorers, toddlers are eager to try new things and use materials in different ways. Our teachers will go with the cues of the child and view that as learning, extending it even if it isn’t a part of the day’s planned curriculum.

Toddlers are working on becoming autonomous. Our teachers respect this and allow opportunities for the child to be responsible and to make choices within limits, and sets limits that are fair and consistent. Our teachers, with patience, warmth and respect, redirect toddlers to help guide them toward controlling their impulses and behaviors.

At some time during your child’s enrollment in the Toddlers Program, he/she will either be bitten or will bite someone. Toddlers normally bite out of frustration due to the fact that they cannot communicate as you and I do.

Every effort will be made to keep your child from being bitten or from biting another child. If you know that your child is biting, please notify the teacher immediately so that she/he can be on alert shall the child decide to strike out.
