                                                              By now your toddler is walking steadily and is ready to explore the world around them. This is an important year for your child in terms of expanding their language and developing a sense of self worth and independence. The daily schedule of our program will offer your child many opportunities to grow and develop social, cognitive and physical skills.  Even at this level we are intentional about the curriculum we provide for their development. These skills are developed through singing, music, art, story time, and sensory activities. Routines are still a very important part of the toddler curriculum. Eating, diapering and dressing are important learning experiences. Physical contact and attention are a vital part of the toddlers day.
