Toddler Developmental Milestones
We help you discover developmental milestones as your child grows. We build on the kids’ natural curiosity and drive to understand their world and direct their play accordingly. Our exclusive milestone-base curriculum focuses on 6 areas of development:
Cognitive Skills
Toddlers are like sponges because they learn new vocabulary and make connections with others daily. Music, songs, books, games, finger plays, and educational toys are all incorporated into the curriculum. Toddlers are taught colors, shapes, objects, and names of people. Art projects are fun and part of our daily schedule.
Emotions Skills
Toddlers feel safe and comfortable in their classrooms. Strong bonds are built daily with all their family, teachers, and friends. Feelings are important as toddlers have a variety of emotions. Our teachers work with your child to help them understand how to deal with their emerging feelings and others.
Communication Skills
Real communication begins as toddlers begin to use words to express their needs and to identify familiar people and objects. Sign language is taught to help with communication as cognitive skills begin to develop. Good manners and good hygiene is very important at this age and is taught daily by our teachers. We take advantage of all teachable moments to capture learning as the day progresses in a fun environment.
Fine Motor Skills
Your child’s fine motor skills continue to develop in the small muscles like fingers and hands. Our toddlers are encouraged to do more things for themselves, such as washing their hands, feeding themselves, putting toys away, and getting their room ready for their parents. Craft projects are also provided individually and within a group. Coloring, drawing, painting, and counting with their fingers are all activities we engage your child in. We want all children to experience success and happiness and learn to be a part of a group. We work towards stimulating creative learning and development.
Gross Motor Skills
Gross motor development is the growth of large muscles such as the arms and legs. Toddlers love to climb. A safe and happy environment is provided inside and outside to promote these developing skills. Jumping, running, hopping, climbing steps, and active play are all included in our daily schedule.
Social Skills
Toddlers begin to learn to play for longer periods of time, but they still need to know their teacher is close by. Our teachers play, talk, and are very involved in the child’s day. Social skill activities are planned to help toddlers share and respect the rights of others. Toddlers love to help pick up toys, so the teacher uses this as part of their daily activities. Arts and crafts activities are planned daily and are displayed in the classroom and hallways.
