Our Young Toddler Class is designed to nurture the curiosity and developmental needs of children ages 15 to 27 months. This crucial stage of growth is supported by a warm, stimulating environment where little ones can explore, discover, and develop at their own pace.
Our program places a strong emphasis on language development, concentration, problem-solving, visual discrimination, and physical coordination. The foundation is built on the routines of everyday living, promoting independence, order, coordination, and concentration. Our program sets the stage for a lifelong love of learning, self-confidence, and the intrinsic desire to learn. A catered lunch is provided daily.
First Day of School: August 12th
Practical life activities focus on everyday tasks that help children develop skills for daily living. These activities help the child to develop gross motor skills, independence, coordination, concentration, and a sense of order. Some of these activities include pouring, transferring objects, food preparation, dressing skills, care of self, care of the environment, and grace and courtesy.
The sensorial area in our program offers young toddlers opportunities to engage and stimulate their seven senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, proprioception (spatial awareness), and vestibular balance. Through a variety of activities such as exploring textures, smells, and sounds, the toddlers develop enhanced sensory perception, cognitive skills, and gross motor abilities.
Our program's language activities focus on promoting vocabulary building. These include singing songs to develop auditory skills and language rhythm, listening to simple storybooks to enhance listening and comprehension, and matching pictures with objects to expand vocabulary.
Gross motor skills involve the coordination and control of large muscle groups and are essential for activities that require physical movement and coordination. Some gross motor activities include carrying and balancing, outdoor play, and dancing and moving to music.
Our program features activities designed to enhance problem-solving and cognitive skills. These include engaging with simple wooden puzzles to develop problem-solving abilities and building towers and fitting objects together to foster spatial awareness and hand-eye coordination.
Socialization is key to a young toddler's development, helping them build social skills and a sense of belonging. In our class, we promote socialization through structured play, positive reinforcement, outdoor activities, and group interactions like singing songs and listening to stories together.
Music and movement are integral parts of our curriculum, offering the young toddlers opportunities for self-expression and physical activity. In our class, we enjoy singing songs like "The Goldfish Song," engaging in finger plays, and moving to the rhythm of the music. These activities help the toddlers explore rhythm, melody, and coordination in a fun and interactive way.
In the classroom, we emphasize "Grace and Courtesy," a key aspect of our philosophy. This involves modeling respectful and polite behavior for the children to observe and imitate. By practicing phrases like “I need space, please,” and “No, thank you,” we teach children how to communicate their needs and boundaries politely, fostering positive social habits and respect for others.
Our program recognizes the needs of our young toddlers by providing a designated rest area with comfortable cots for nap time.
