Movement
Walking, climbing, balancing, carrying, dancing, and developing coordination through active play.
SPEED
Increasing.
Toddler Care
Now with 40% more running.
A busy program for tiny humans who are walking, talking, climbing, exploring, testing boundaries, and suddenly very committed to doing everything themselves.
A Brief Statement
MYSELF.
Independence has entered the building.
Toddlers are learning that they can move, choose, communicate, help, participate, and occasionally reject the exact cup they requested thirty seconds ago.
A thoughtful toddler program gives them safe opportunities to practice independence while keeping patient adults close enough to help.
Currently Under Development
Basically everything.
Language
Conversation, songs, stories, naming objects, new words, and increasingly detailed negotiations.
Independence
Helping with routines, making simple choices, practicing self-help skills, and proudly doing things “MYSELF.”
Social Skills
Playing near others, beginning cooperative play, communicating needs, and discovering the highly controversial concept of sharing.
Curiosity
Touching, sorting, stacking, pouring, opening, closing, and finding out what happens next.
Built to Move
Their job is to explore.
Indoor and outdoor movement can support coordination, confidence, body awareness, problem solving, and the important discovery that furniture has purposes other than climbing.*
Today's Agenda
Busy. Very busy.
Toddler routines can provide enough structure to feel predictable while leaving plenty of room for movement, exploration, play, meals, rest, and real-life toddler timing.
01
Arrive
Settle in, reconnect, inspect the room for overnight changes.
02
Play
Open exploration, movement, building, pretending, and making discoveries.
03
Snack
Tiny-human refueling according to the center's actual meal program.*
04
Learn
Stories, music, art, sensory activities, language, and hands-on learning.
05
Outside
Fresh air and active play when conditions and center policies allow.*
06
Rest
Quiet time based on the center's real toddler routine.*
07
Repeat
Preferably with the same snack cup.
Hands-On Learning
Making sense of the world by touching all of it.
Toddlers learn through real interaction: pouring, scooping, stacking, squishing, drawing, building, listening, moving, pretending, and repeating activities until something finally makes sense.
Art
Washable supplies highly recommended.
Music
Volume subject to tiny-human enthusiasm.
Sensory
Texture, movement, sound, and discovery.
Pretend
The cardboard box remains undefeated.
NEW WORD DETECTED
“WHY?”
Usage expected to increase.
Words Everywhere
Conversation starts early.
Talking throughout routines, reading together, singing, naming objects, listening, asking questions, and responding to children all help build communication.
The real center can customize this section around its actual language-development approach and curriculum.
Meanwhile, at Pickup
“So... how did today go?”
Families should know what happened during the day. This area can explain the center's real approach to activity updates, meals, rest, care routines, milestones, and communication with parents.*
“They had a great day.”
