Enrichment through play
Open-Ended Play Focused on Early Problem-Solving
The toddler stage is a period of incredible exploration, movement, and language explosion. Our Toddler care programs, The Lamb and Piglet Rooms, are specifically crafted to support the rapidly expanding physical and cognitive capabilities of children in this age group. The Barn Yard provides a dynamic, safe, and secure environment where toddlers can assert their budding independence while being gently guided by our certified, professional staff. We understand that this is the age of "I can do it myself," and we are here to provide the space and support for them to try, learn, and succeed.
Focused Growth
The Lamb Room: Where Movement is Learning
Our younger toddler care program, The Lamb Room, is built around active learning and movement through play. We encourage curiosity and channel a toddler's boundless energy into constructive activities that support development. This includes engaging motor activities like climbing, running, and hands-on manipulation to refine both gross and fine motor skills. For language development, we utilize interactive storytelling, simple songs, and constant verbal engagement to encourage vocabulary and comprehension. We focus on clear communication so children can confidently express their needs and wants. Our open play spaces create a sense of interest and invite exploration of different concepts and materials.
Social Interaction
The Piglet Room: The Social Emotional Hub
One of the most important lessons a toddler learns is how to navigate their emotions and interact with peers. Our older toddler program, The Piglet Room, places a high emphasis on social-emotional development. Teachers guide children through the foundational skills of speaking up, turn-taking, and recognizing the feelings of others. We create a nurturing and patient setting where children can practice their growing social skills in a fun group setting. This consistent guidance can help reduce frustration and builds a strong sense of self-awareness and self-regulation. This helps us take our curriculum and learning to the next level- allowing for more questions and discovery.
