Toddlers (12 months - 2 years)
Toddlers are quickly becoming more mobile, autonomous, social, and thoughtful. They can sometimes be assertive and independent, yet other times passive and very dependent. In a group setting at Small Steps Institute, our teachers accommodate and support the "do it myself" ways of toddlers.
Our staff is patient, sensitive, and understanding to a toddler's point of view. The environment is developed to be a captivating, interesting place that continually holds a toddler's attention with individual and small group experiences.
At this age, children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. Walking and eventually running are levels they accomplish in what seems like a blink of an eye. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music, stories, outdoor play, and learning simplicities envelop much of the day. Our team members are dedicated to helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship. A parental daily report is given to update each family on meal times, nap times, toilet training and all activities accomplished each day.
