Toddler Tykes

The Toddler Tykes Program is geared toward the early stages of educational development. Within this program children will begin to socialize with peers and learn how to take turns and share. They will begin to lengthen their attention span and memory along with expanding their creativity as well as their imagination. They will be challenged physically with fine and gross motor activities. The children will engage in language development and early literacy with age appropriate daily activities and story time.

Daily activities will provide opportunities for each child’s curiosity to expand enhancing their sensory development by using our wonderful five senses. Toddlers are always involved in music and movement within daily circle times. In addition, the children are introduced to basic academic concepts such as letters, numbers, shapes, and colors through play and social interaction.

Separation Anxiety

Separation Anxiety is a major component for all toddlers and especially their parents. For most parents, school is the first time they leave their child in the care of another person and we want to make this process as pain free as possible. In order to ease separation anxiety and to foster positive interacting with children and teachers, the Toddler Tykes Class will host an “Ease-in-Program” at the beginning of each school year. The “Ease-in-Program consists of 2 to 3 consecutive days of increasing hours. During this time the children get to explore their new learning environment at a shorter time frame and get acquainted with their new teachers.
