Our two Toddler classes offer many
opportunities to this group of
children who are making the transition from Infancy to
independence. A 12-18 month transition room, "The
Tadpole Room", across the hall from our infant room is
our newest room. This room will be small in
numbers and will allow children extra time to get their
walk sturdy before heading to the older toddler class.
These children have a routine including art, story time,
outdoor play and Bye Bye Buggy rides. In our Older
Toddler Room, "The Turtle Room," children are not only "learning"
colors and shapes, but also finding their words and how
to interact with others their own age. They will
participate "hands on" in many seasonal activities which
may include making orange juice, feeling the inside of a
pumpkin, painting with a lemon or tasting different
seasonings. This is a wonderful age to teach as
these children are "sponges" wanting and ready to learn
through their experiences. This class is located a step
from the playground which is a wonderful place for them
to walk outside as many are still getting their footing.
