Toddler 1 Classroom
Ages 1 year to 2 years
Toddler 1 is an exciting classroom for our young students to learn
and grow in. At this age, the children are working on art projects, sensory play, and more. Here the students work on developing both gross and fine motor skills. The teachers of Toddler 1 use the school's play-based curriculum to engage the students in learning through play. This allows for the growth of social and emotional skills. As at this age, the students are continuing to develop their communication and independency skills with peers and teachers. The main goals of Toddler 1 are socialization, sharing, and engaging in parallel play with peers.
