The toddler is just learning to communicate verbally. They develop the ability to share feelings and negotiate with peers in a group setting. Teachers create an atmosphere where toddlers and twos are capable individuals. Their opinions, actions, and thoughts are respected and valued. Emphasis is on modeling appropriate language and behavior. This creates a respectful environment: trust, self-esteem, autonomy, communication, and teamwork development.
Toddlers
The toddler classroom is designed to explore the surroundings. Children fine-tune their motor skills, developing confidence in themselves. Teachers provide the interplay toddlers need and crave at this age. They encourage them to walk, explore, and use their sensory skills. Teachers offer a wide variety of hands-on activities—both Individual and group. Toddler classroom ratios are small, giving individual teacher-to-child time. Through group play, children develop their social skills. With a lower group ratio, your child will get one-on-one care.
