Ages: 10 months - 4 years old.

Toddler: (1 year - 4 years) your toddler is ready to learn, and we are committed to highlighting your child's cognitive-developmental.

We aim to create an environment where children and families feel safe, secure, represented, and respected. Through careful observation, we develop an emergent curriculum that supports children's capabilities and autonomy to help them reach their full potential.     

Core Values and Beliefs:

• Conflict Resolution – taking the Time to assess the situation and listen to all sides while allowing children to work through conflict. We encourage children to use language they know, see things from another child's perspective, and develop solutions to the conflict that addresses all children's needs. 
• Emotions – children recognize their feelings as well as those of their peers. Teachers support this by introducing vocabulary that encompasses a variety of feelings (excited, frustrated, scared, silly, jealous, etc.). 
• Problem Solving – encouraging children to develop strategies and skills to accomplish tasks and come to conclusions with the support of a teacher if needed. 
• Autonomy and Capability – recognizing children's growing independence and capabilities by offering opportunities for them to build upon them; for example, placing materials on shelves within children's reach and not putting children in positions they can't get into themselves (i.e., not placing them on a tall stump they can't climb onto themselves). 
• Communication – children communicate their thoughts, ideas, wants, and needs through various methods, which include tone of voice, body language, facial expressions, signing, and verbal language. To give every child a voice, regardless of their verbal abilities, we support children to begin to interpret and recognize these various methods of communication.   
• Wait Time - giving children the Time and opportunity to freely explore, experiment, and make discoveries to come to their realizations and conclusions about the world around them.       

Activities include listening to music and sounds, humming, singing, reading stories in Spanish, drawing, painting, building blocks and Legos, going for walks, and to the playground.
