Older Toddlers: 25-36 Months

Older Toddler classroom serves ages 24 months to 36 months of age, with a staff to child ratio of 1:6. Like in our Toddler Class we continue to provide the children with Themed Creative curriculum. We provide a developmentally-appropriate classroom with activities that foster all areas of development and provide them with stimulating and fun discovery through play. We begin the “potty training” process without children and families at this age. We promote creativity and independence and begin teaching the children problem solving strategies. We provide activities and a classroom environment to prepare the children to transition to our preschool age classroom. We provide a daily progress sheet as well, and provide families with monthly calendars and activities throughout the year.
