The toddler program is designed for children 18 to 36 months of age. The purpose
of the toddler community is to assist the toddler during this special period of
growth and their first venture from home. The toddler teacher prepares the
environment with age-appropriate activities that foster the natural desire of
the toddler's internal need for exploration and independence. Our nurturing, unhurried
environment follows the natural rhythm of the child. The toddler can explore and
experience at his own social, physical and cognitive level in an outdoor and indoor
environment.
Large and small motor activities involving self-help skills, snack preparation,
exploring manipulatives, music with movement, art expression, practice with social
skills, and caring for nature are some of the experiences offered in the toddler community.
