Developmental Focus: This transitional stage focuses on supporting mobility and early independence. As children begin walking and exploring, the curriculum emphasizes gross motor skills, coordination, and balance through play-based activities. Social-emotional development is a priority, helping children navigate interactions with peers and adults. Language skills are encouraged through songs, story time, and simple conversations, fostering their curiosity and communication abilities.

 

Additional Opportunities: Our toddlers enjoy weekly swimming sessions as a classroom activity alongside their teachers. This program not only encourages the development of safe water habits but also provides consistent water experiences that build confidence and comfort in the water.
