18 mo-2-Year Old Toddler Class
As children begin to walk and talk regularly, their curiosity drives them to explore. Our toddler program encourages children’s developing independence by helping them gain self-help skills, such as the abilities to feed themselves, relate to others and make choices.
These skills and the opportunity to play and discover empower children to become more confident learners as they investigate new concepts. For example, when a toddler plays with a shape sorter toy or When your child picks out a puzzle and tries to put it together, the child is developing basic problem-solving skills and learning what different shapes look and feel like as while as planning and completing a simple project. This helps the child develop feelings of competence and self-esteem, setting the foundation for future learning success.
3-4 Year Old Preschool Class
Perseverance is the ability to overcome obstacles to achieve a goal, which is essential to children’s success. In our preschool classroom, children develop this crucial trait by engaging in play-based learning activities and sticking with them until they solve the problem or complete the project. If children’s solutions to a problem do not work, teachers help the children learn from their efforts and encourage them to keep trying to accomplish the objective.
Children use a variety of interesting, hands-on learning and reading materials to make play more complex and challenging. Their play also becomes more social and cooperative as they build their social skills, make friends and learn to collaborate.
