Toddlers
Researchers say that encouraging a toddler’s verbal communication is important for continued development. Speaking slowly and with careful enunciation helps the toddler distinguish individual words. The Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers has a strong focus on language development. Our teachers develop activities designed to assist your toddler with language development. In addition, combining music, sign language and stories allows your toddler opportunities that build confidence and success.
At the toddler phase of development your child will begin to investigate the classroom environment exploring texture, size, shape and weight through a variety of activities. Climbing, pushing and pulling and walking will encourage gross motor development to help with climbing stairs. Building with blocks will assist with small motor development to help prepare for writing and painting.
Toddlers will eat meals family style encouraging conversations with friends while exploring new tastes and smells. Rest time and diapering will also be part of your toddler’s day and give your child’s assigned caregiver wonderful opportunities to share and encourage vocalization along with quiet moments to listen to soft lullabies.
In addition to bible verse and prayer before meals, activities in this age group will include painting, singing, rolling balls, pushing trucks, dancing, circle time, stories and spending time out doors.
