TODDLER SENSORY PLAY
Our sensory play activities are designed to stimulate your toddler's senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. We provide a variety of materials like sand, water, and textured toys that encourage exploration and discovery. This hands-on approach helps to build cognitive skills and fosters curiosity.
POTTY TRAINING
We offer support and guidance through the potty training process. Our teachers work closely with parents to ensure a consistent and positive potty training experience for each child. We celebrate every milestone and encourage independence in this important developmental stage.
DRAMATIC PLAY
Our dramatic play area is filled with costumes, props, and themed setups that encourage toddlers to engage in imaginative play. Whether they’re pretending to be chefs, doctors, or superheroes, this playtime helps develop social skills, problem-solving abilities, and emotional understanding.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Our program emphasizes the importance of social and emotional development. Through structured activities, toddlers learn to recognize and manage their emotions, develop empathy for others, and build strong interpersonal skills. These lessons are crucial for forming healthy relationships.
THEMATIC UNITS
We organize our lessons around thematic units that integrate various areas of learning. Each unit is designed to captivate toddlers' interests while teaching them about the world around them. Themes like "Farm Animals," "Seasons," and "My Family" provide a well-rounded educational experience.
TODDLER ARTS & CRAFTS
In our arts and crafts sessions, toddlers are encouraged to express their creativity through various mediums like painting, drawing, and sculpting. These activities help develop fine motor skills and allow children to explore their imaginations while learning about colors, shapes, and textures.
TODDLER DANCING!
Movement and music are key components of our toddler dancing sessions. We incorporate fun, energetic routines that get toddlers moving and grooving. This activity promotes physical coordination, rhythm, and self-expression in a lively, supportive environment.
DAILY/MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS
We keep parents informed with detailed daily and monthly progress reports. These reports cover everything from meal times and nap schedules to developmental milestones and learning achievements, providing a comprehensive overview of your child's growth and progress.
VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT
Language acquisition is a vital part of our toddler curriculum. We focus on vocabulary development through reading, singing, and interactive storytelling. Our goal is to enhance your child's language skills, helping them to communicate effectively and confidently.
