From 12 Months to 24 Months: Child Development Support For Every Stage
Toddlers experience incredible growth during this stage of life. As babies transition into toddlers, they begin learning how to communicate, solve problems, and interact with others. Our toddler program supports these milestones through hands-on activities and meaningful play.
- Group Time - During group time, toddlers begin developing language and listening skills as they sing songs, hear stories, and participate in simple conversations that support milestones like talking, recognizing words, and building early social confidence.
- Sensory Table - At the sensory table, toddlers scoop, pour, and explore materials like sand and water, helping them strengthen motor skills, investigate textures, and develop curiosity as they learn how things change and interact.
- Art Center - In the art center, toddlers experiment with crayons, paint, and play-dough, strengthening small hand muscles needed for writing while expressing ideas, exploring colors and shapes, and building creativity.
- Block Center - While stacking and building with blocks, toddlers practice coordination and problem-solving, learning to plan, explore balance, and feel proud of their work as their attention span and confidence grow.
- Book Center - In the book center, toddlers listen to stories and explore books with teachers, helping them expand vocabulary, recognize new words, and develop an early love of reading.
- Science and Discovery Center - In the science and discovery center, toddlers examine natural objects and explore cause-and-effect through hands-on investigations that encourage curiosity and early scientific thinking.
- Dramatic Play - Through dramatic play, toddlers begin using their imagination and language to act out everyday experiences, helping them develop social skills, communication skills, and creative thinking.
- Outdoor Exploration - On our natural playground, toddlers explore textures such as grass, sand, and water while strengthening their large muscles, developing coordination, and discovering the natural world through movement and play.
