Toddlers make great developmental strides - from first steps to potty-training; I am right there to provide support in a fun and active environment.I plan activities in a bright and cheery learning environment to encourage toddlers’ eager investigation of the world.

In order to provide toddlers with the consistency and routine they crave, I plan days filled with a balance of quiet activities, music and movement and plenty of outdoor climbing, running and jumping.

Learning Centers for imaginary play, blocks and puzzles, creative art and lots of books are always open for discovery.
I emphasize social growth through circle time with stories and songs incorporated into each day to encourage language skills.
Toddlers practice self-help skills including hand washing, putting on their coats, picking up their toys and sharing with their friends.

I encourage developmentally appropriate behavior through gross motor activity, such as balance beams and tip-toes; and fine motor skills through crayon and marker use.
Although children potty-train at their own pace, parents and I work together to provide the best environment for success.

Preschoolers engage in age-appropriate activities related to a monthly theme.

Centers for math, science, imaginary play, music, creative art and computers provide both shared and independent learning opportunities.

Preschoolers are introduced to cognitive skills like sequencing and matching, social skills in similarities and diversity and language art skills such as storytelling and process-writing.
Learning Centers encourage self-reliance and provide opportunities for children to develop their self confidence. Children also practice their decision making as they navigate from center to center.
Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their individual needs and abilities.

Computers are an everyday component of the preschool classroom and allow children to practice their new skills.
Manners are incorporated into each preschooler's daily schedule
