Program Structure:
Separate Rooms for Developmental Stages
Focus Areas of Development
Physical Growth
Our program enhances toddlers’ motor skills through art projects, music exploration, and movement exercises. Activities like painting or participating in dance routines help children in areas such as coordination and fine motor skills, preparing them for more advanced challenges.
Intellectual Growth
Toddlers are naturally curious, and we encourage that curiosity with activities that promote intellectual growth. From counting exercises to identifying shapes and colors, our curriculum introduces basic math concepts and cognitive challenges in a playful, engaging way.
Social and Emotional Growth
We integrate activities that teach toddlers how to navigate social situations and express emotions. Group play encourages taking turns and sharing, while self-expression activities help toddlers communicate their feelings effectively.
Milestone Support for Language, Potty Training, and Social Skills
Our Toddler Program supports children as they achieve key milestones, including developing language skills for effective communication, beginning potty training with supportive guidance, and practicing social interactions through group play.
