The two to three years are the time when children use their bodies, senses, and emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world, in ways most meaningful and effective for them. This is the period to be curious, so following their lead, we encourage the child to explore fully. Activities are positioned around the room, each with a particular theme, skill, or subject of value to toddler development. Imaginative play activities and learning materials appeal to the child’s sense of wonder and investigation.

Outdoor play and daily walks are an important part of the day, as are reading and quiet play. Our teachers provide respect, tenderness, and warmth that allow the children to blossom. There is ample space for physical activity and exploration. Our toddler classrooms allow them the freedom to learn as much as they can, as quickly as possible. This is the time for children to explore and discover through active play, since children learn best by doing. In addition, our educators give toddlers responsive, individualized attention to help build skills in:

• Sensory and Perception
• Self-help
• Language
• Physical and Motor Skills
• Social and emotional skills
