Physical development: Toddlers love to develop new moves such as climbing, jumping, and dancing! Our caregivers offer your child many ways to be active, both indoors and outdoors. We also provide materials and activities that interest children their age and help improve their hand coordination, like scribbling with crayons and stacking toys.

Social and emotional development: We model behaviors like sharing and apologizing so toddlers can learn by example. We provide your child opportunities to try new social skills and to try doing things for themselves. Our teachers encourage children and help them express their feelings in positive, healthy ways.

Cognitive (thinking) skills: Cognitive development is your child’s ability to make sense of the world around them. It includes memory, language, thinking, and reasoning. Classrooms are set up so toddlers can learn how to solve problems by sorting objects, doing puzzles, taking things apart and fitting them back together, and so much more! Our teachers offer children a range of activities and experiences that inspire and challenge them, from building on their curiosity to helping them use their imagination.

Language development: We spend a lot of time talking to children so that they learn how words should sound and how conversations go back and forth. We read books with simple stories and use songs, rhymes, and finger plays that have repeating patterns. We also help toddlers by asking questions about the books they read. We incorporate questions such as “what do you think will happen next?” to expand on their answers and introduce new words to develop and increase their vocabulary skills.
