Our Toddler Program is designed for children 18 months to 2.6 years of age and we offer full-time and part-time spaces (Tuesday, Thursday & Monday, Wednesday, Friday). We also provide a limited number of spaces for children 12 months to 18 months of age within our Toddler rooms. The ratio in our Toddler Program is one teacher for every five children, with a maximum of 15 children.
Our Toddler Program is based on the knowledge that children are natural learners and learn best in an environment where they can develop curiosity and always feel safe and loved.
Recognizing that Toddlers are full of energy and excitement, we have created a learning space that enriches the senses, promotes active exploration and stimulates cognitive development. Toddlers foster their independence as they make choices relevant to their interests while developing fine motor, listening and speaking skills and problem-solving strategies. Our developmentally appropriate activities keep our little ones moving, imitating and talking!
Our learning centres - Reading, Dramatic Play, Creative Art, Sensory, Cognitive, Block Play/Construction and Science- are filled with rich play experiences and provide opportunities for toddlers to develop a sense of the world around them. As they become more active, our educators introduce fun, physical activities that develop gross-motor skills and encourage coordination, balance and muscle control, both inside the classroom and in our outdoor environment.
Everything in our Toddler classrooms has been designed to be at their level and size and this promotes independence and encourages socialization. Your toddler’s daily routine will include alphabet, songs, poems, stories, nursery rhymes and an introduction to early language, math and science through large and small group activities. Toddlers also enjoy our "Snuggle Up For Reading” program which has been designed to encourage emergent literacy at home.
