Toddler Room
Description:
Ages 2 years to 3 years.
The Toddler Program is designed to meet the
expanding needs of our young learners. Our basic goal for toddlers
is to provide developmentally appropriate activities, which
encourage social, emotional, and language development. Ample
opportunities are given for solitary and parallel play, which
leads to cooperative play. Activities are also planned to enhance
large and small muscle development. Self-help skills and toilet
training are a very important part of the daily program.
Toddlers experience tactile activities such
as finger painting, tearing paper, and nature walks. Books,
story telling, singing, dancing, dress-up, and exploring sand
and water complete our very busy daily schedule. The toddlers
are introduced to yoga and American Sign Language on a daily
basis. The activities are all planned and designed for toddler
bodies and their shorter attention spans.
Toddlers are always exploring and moving, so
our toddler room is designed for active play. There is plenty
of space for dumping and filling (our favorite activity). There
are activity centers for the toddlers to explore which include
housekeeping, art, fine motor manipulatives, book corners, sensory
sinks, blocks, and sand tables. Small and gross motor movement
centers make up the majority of the toddler environment. We
also take into consideration a toddler's need for peace and
quiet through the use of our magic carpet.
