Our Toddler Program

A place for growing curious, happy and confident toddlers

Our space is built for active and inquisitive toddlers with environments made up of well-planned learning centers that allow for physical activity, child choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching. There are reading nooks, sensory tables, great books, pretend play areas, baskets filled with dress-up and exploratory materials, musical instruments, and outdoor places to explore.

Learning experiences are planned to promote each toddler’s growing independence, to enhance social skills, and to build the confidence needed to reach their individual potential and prepare for preschool and beyond.

What Parents are Saying

Learning at Home

What’s That Sound?

You Will Need:

Common household items that can be used to make sounds: a ball, pencil, glass, etc.

Directions:

Use an object to make a sound, such as bouncing a ball, tapping a pencil on a glass, running water, or clicking your fingers. Say to your child “Can you guess what is making that sound? Is it a ball? Yes, ball. Do you want to hear it again? That’s a ball bouncing.” As your child gets older, have them tell you what the sound is.

Tip:

This activity can be done anywhere, anytime. If your child is getting restless in the car, this activity may soothe them. New sensations attract baby’s attention. Making new noises stimulate curiosity and language development; It is through early conversations that their language capacity grows.
