Safe, Nurturing Environment Promoting Independence and Preschool Readiness
At Little Newtons, we believe the first five years of life are critical to laying the foundation for lifelong success.

Program Structure:
Separate Rooms for Developmental Stages
Age-Appropriate Classrooms
Our toddler program features separate rooms for younger and older toddlers, ensuring children learn alongside peers at similar developmental stages. These age-appropriate groupings allow for focused activities tailored to toddlers’ unique growth needs. With classrooms designed to promote intellectual, social, and emotional development, our toddlers thrive in a safe and supportive environment.
Developmental Benefits of Age-Appropriate Groupings
Grouping toddlers by developmental stage fosters social interactions, boosts self-confidence, and provides opportunities for shared learning. Teachers create activities that align with toddlers’ developmental milestones, enabling them to progress at their own pace while engaging with peers. This nurturing approach ensures toddlers are supported in building the skills they need to grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
Focus Areas of Development
Physical Growth
Interactive art, music, and movement exercises help toddlers develop motor skills, balance, and coordination. These activities engage children’s senses while encouraging physical growth and social interaction in a playful environment.
Intellectual Growth
Our toddler curriculum integrates storytelling, counting games, and shape recognition activities to inspire curiosity and early learning. These exercises build foundational skills in language, math, and cognitive problem-solving, preparing children for future academic success.
Social and Emotional Growth
Toddlers learn to express themselves and navigate social interactions through cooperative play and creative arts. Activities that encourage teamwork, patience, and emotional regulation help children build strong social skills and effectively manage their feelings.
Milestone Support for Language, Potty Training, and Social Skills
Our program is designed to support key milestones such as effective language use, early potty training, and the development of social skills. Through guided activities and consistent encouragement, toddlers gain confidence as they achieve these developmental benchmarks, setting the stage for continued growth and success.
