The Toddler Program
Ages 12 months - 2 years
Important factors - Social Interaction, Learning Skills, Potty Training
Activities are designed to enhance the child’s self-care abilities and stress the importance of getting along with others. Self-help skills, such as feeding, dressing and toilet training will be taught. Creating a desire to learn will be fostered through fun and lively activities targeted at learning a specific subject, e.g., number concepts, color concepts, and recognition of objects.
Since “children will be children,” the schedule under this program will be flexible and light. Regulation and instruction will be appropriate to the ages of these children. To further socialize the child, much time will be given to free play and group playing. Again, we recommend communication between staff and parents, as the personalities and needs of children in this age group change rapidly. **Toilet training will begin when the parents and center feel the child is ready and BOTH PARTIES will support the child fully. Please ask the office for our general information sheet prior to your child beginning potty training with us.
