Toddler Daycare:
Channeling Toddler Energy toward Learning
Toddlers are no doubt a bundle of energy, but at Kid’s Harbor we welcome that energy and excitement. We know this behavior is a natural part of growth and learning, so we choose to channel that energy by redirecting your toddler to learn:
- Motor Skill Development — tossing, catching, rolling, crawling, walking.
- Language Development — reading time including our Share-A-Book activity and speech development
- Music and Movement — dancing, singing, push toys and outdoor play.
- Basic Concepts — helping notice and make sense of basic concepts, such as shapes and colors.
- Artistic Development — art and construction projects.
Toddler Daycare is all about creating experiences that are active, sensory-based and meaningful. Our teachers lead young toddlers through age-appropriate activities to improve coordination and increase verbal and problem-solving skills. Our powerful beginnings child care curriculum is based on the idea that children are naturally curious and motivated to learn. So we provide them with the materials and experiences to help them understand and communicate in ways most meaningful to them. Our teachers get to know each child, learn their interests and plan developmentally appropriate, engaging activities such as; painting, water and sand play, book exploration, manipulative play, small group experiences and large group circle times. All of these experiences pave the way for toddlers in their path towards lifelong learning.
We currently use FrogStreet Toddler Curriculum that is designed around the latest scientific research of the toddler brain and is comprised of 52 weeks of easy-to-use activities specifically created for children ages 18-36 months.
