While your child is in our care they will go though many developmental stages that will help them grow and learn new tasks in their lives. Toddlers thrive in a safe and predictable environment. We work diligently to offer an appropriately structured classroom environment with daily group circle time and simple class rules, while still meeting the individual needs of each child. We utilize any opportunity for outside play and adventures. Older toddles become masters of climbing, jumping, and running. Toddlers learn by exploring their environment and this often results in dirty clothes, shoes, and bodies, so please expect this each day.
Milestones: using a spoon, plate, and cup; napping on a cot; and washing their own hands and brushing their teeth.
Parents will receive a daily updates on the brightwheel app. Outside the room you will find a parent information board that will inform you of our daily schedule, menus, along with information about our weekly curriculum.
*NOTE: Children are placed in classes based on development not age.
