Toddler I - Busy Bees

As infants grow into toddlers, their worlds become vast and wonderful galaxies to explore. They exhibit boundless energy and inquisitiveness, and every object and every moment is a new learning experience. It is at this stage of development when young minds begin to form meaningful connections to the world in which they live.

Our toddler program capitalize on this window of opportunity by introducing and constantly reinforcing essential skills and knowledge, building the foundations upon which future learning will occur. Through planned activities and free play, our toddlers are carefully guided as they learn how to communicate, begin to care for themselves, express feelings appropriately, and understand how to play with others and interact appropriately with adults.

During this period, your child will learn skills that include pushing and pulling objects, turning and bending, matching objects by color and size, follow simple one-step directions, and building an early vocabulary. 

Our Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers provides a comprehensive framework that emphasizes the relationships between the teachers/caregivers and children and their families form the basis of curriculum for very young children.
