Creative Curriculum

Creative Curriculum for Toddlers concentrates on appealing to what toddlers respond to most: love, understanding, and meaningful interactions that are positive and nurturing. The comprehensive curriculum provides endless opportunities for toddlers to explore their creativity and curiosity. Our Curriculum is centered on observation, analysis, and creating individualized learning experiences so that your child can reach their highest potential.

Language Development

Toddlers absorb language like a sponge and showcase their new communication skills with pride and humor! Our toddler teachers are trained to accelerate students' language development and communication skills. Through storytime, songs, puzzles, blocks, and dramatic play, our teachers will help your toddler develop their language skills, recognize letters, and awaken their phonemic awareness.

Social Skills

They’re curious creatures at this age. Noticing they’re not the only ones in the room, toddlers naturally want to engage others around them. Through group play and interaction with their friends, our teachers will nurture, encourage, and lovingly guide your toddler into acquiring social skills and habits that will establish trust, teach respect for others, and start building self-confidence they can take with them all through life.

Parent Communication

Parental involvement makes all the difference in a child’s academic and social-emotional well-being. That’s why we promote active parent participation. We’ll keep you in the loop via email and direct educator-to-parent communication. You’ll receive updates, photos, and ongoing assessments of your toddler’s progress and special moments. We want you to share in our excitement as your little one takes little steps and great strides.

Yoga

Gentle movements and stretches for toddlers as young as 6 weeks old can seemingly work miracles, improving sleep, digestion, mood, and overall health. Touch and movement are the basis for synesthesia – the integration of sensory experiences. Yes, even babies and toddlers need to unwind, and our yoga practice helps them do just that.
