Toddlers Classes
Our proprietary curriculum lays the foundations for future success. Our age-appropriate programs nourish young children’s hearts, minds, and bodies to help them grow and flourish. The original little red schoolhouses in America equipped the thinkers, innovators, and leaders of the future. We take inspiration from the spirit of these institutions, weaving through their day strategically good food, outdoor time, playgrounds created with natural elements, classical literature, gardens, animals, music, art, and much more.
At Early Academy, our Toddler Program is thoughtfully designed to support the rapid growth and development characteristic of children aged 1 to 3 years. We provide a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages exploration, discovery, and learning.
Curriculum Overview
Our proprietary curriculum lays the foundation for future success by nourishing young children’s hearts, minds, and bodies. We draw inspiration from America’s original little red schoolhouses, integrating elements such as nutritious food, outdoor activities, natural playgrounds, classical literature, gardens, animals, music, and art into our daily routines.
Key Areas of Focus
Practical Life Skills
We encourage toddlers to develop independence and confidence through simple everyday activities like buttoning, zipping, preparing food, and washing hands. These tasks promote physical independence and lay the groundwork for intellectual exploration and creativity.
Motor Skills Development
Our program supports both fine and gross motor skills development. Activities such as pouring, spooning, and grasping enhance fine motor skills, while outdoor playtime and classroom movement exercises like jumping, running, dancing, and walking promote large motor skills.
Sensorial Exploration
Toddlers engage in activities that refine their senses of touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. Through exercises like texture matching, sound discrimination, and color recognition, children learn to observe and categorize the world around them, enhancing their cognitive development.
Language Development
Recognizing the explosion of verbal language during the toddler years, we immerse children in rich language experiences. Daily conversations, storytelling, and literature exploration help build vocabulary and communication skills, fostering a love for reading and self-expression.
Environment and Approach
Our Montessori-inspired approach provides toddlers with a daily adventure in a safe, secure environment tailored to each child’s needs. We give toddlers time and opportunities to immerse themselves in various areas that go beyond what a traditional daycare can offer.
Parental Involvement
We believe in the importance of strong partnerships with parents. Regular updates, meetings, and shared observations keep you informed about your child’s progress and experiences. We welcome your insights and actively involve you in your child’s developmental journey.
At Early Academy, our Toddler Program is dedicated to providing a foundation that supports the holistic development of your child, ensuring they thrive during this pivotal stage of life.
