About
Toddlers
Toddlers are young pioneers at work. They explore the world at their pace, learn from modeled behavior, and grow from love and care. They discover their interests, and learn important social behaviors. Toddlers also begin their journey to independence and want to learn the skills to be helpful and take care of themselves. In our toddler program, we focus on child led teaching practices, art and sensory materials, natural materials, and real everyday objects as toys, to help them learn and grow. We monitor their development using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) and Highscopes Key Development Indicators, and help you in guiding your toddler. We use our observations, developmentally appropriate materials, and our science informed teaching practices to prepare toddlers for the next step in their education journey, Preschool.
