Toddler (18 Months to 36 Months)

Children at this age learn mainly through play. Recognizing the importance of play, our teachers plan weekly and/or monthly themes around activities which involve lots of play time. While children are at play, our teachers will be working on the following skills:

Language Development

  • Clarity of speech
  • Following single and multiple word instructions
  • Expressions of wants and needs through verbal skills instead of pointing

Social and Emotional Development

  • Interaction with peers
  • Sharing
  • Participation in group activities

Large/Small Motor Movements (Coordination)

  • Walking, running, throwing, catching, kicking balls
  • Holding eating and drinking utensils
  • Playing with play dough, bread dough, cookie dough
  • Putting things away into small containers

Self-help Skills

  • Dressing, eating, drinking, sitting
  • Toilet training
  • Washing

Creativity

  • Music, singing, dancing
  • Artwork
  • Games
Your child will be able to explore, test their boundaries, and investigate everything we have to offer them. Our toddler classroom provides a variety of age appropriate materials to enhance the growth process of your child. Your child will learn through listening, watching, experimenting and practicing.

Our teachers will also work on defining appropriate behavior. The teachers will carefully and gently redirect each child in a way that he or she understands and learns. Learning how to use words instead of acting out anger or frustrations is very important at this age. This will be worked on daily.

Time spent in the classroom is both teacher directed and child initiated with a focus on activities that both encourage creativity and develop large and small motor skills.

We would love to have your child experience the wonderful ways of learning at Children of Tomorrow!
 
Music
music

Our goal in class is to teach the children how to love and enjoy the art of music.

We will practice singing, rhythm and using a variety of instruments throughout the year to aid in learning the songs and learning how to hear the rhythm.

Our favorite part of class is to watch their faces light up when we use props to help engage them in the song. Ask your children about the props used in class and you can experience the same excitement while they describe what we did.

Each month our theme will change and we will keep you informed through the monthly newsletter and weekly description sheet located outside each classroom on the bulletin board. Also a monthly newsletter will be sent via email.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to teach your children the joy of music!
 
Spanish

Spanish Education Classes for Younger Preschool -Kindergarten Children

Your children will be learning simple Spanish phrases and vocabulary words that are relevant to your child’s classroom, their community, and development. We will also learn about Spanish speaking cultures. The themes in Spanish will compliment the monthly themes that are being taught within the classroom curriculum. We will use many hands-on activities and props, as well as music and movement to enhance the learning experience. Young children have a natural instinct for learning language and they pick up the vocabulary and dialect very quickly.
