Discernment and Insight
Young students develop awareness, honing their understanding of the world. They express thoughts, remember events, and learn order, language, sensory skills, movement, and social skills. Play involves active movement like running and jumping, and exploring everything through touch. Students thrive on routine and repetition. Language development is crucial; written words spark curiosity and writing skills enhance speech, boosting confidence and social interaction. The student environment is homelike, clean, and orderly, with accessible equipment and designated areas for food preparation, rest, and reading. Children freely explore, choose activities, and learn responsibility by returning materials.
Throughout the day our STUDENTS will participate in the following activities:
Mathematics
Toddlers learn mathematical thinking by working with sequencing activities and their senses. Consistent daily routines help with the introduction of time. Sorting and classifying introduce numeracy and mathematical sets. Daily activities help with number recognitions, stacking, sorting and counting.
Language
For toddlers, exposure to well-spoken language is key to developing the ability to communicate. Through many different methods like working with manipulatives, conversation, poetry, singing, rhyming and dramatic play,toddlers will begin to flourish into communicators. Introduction to new vocabulary will help toddlers during daily routines, classifying, comparing, and finding relationships with things through the day. Students develop expressive and receptive language through routines and read aloud.
Foreign Language
Toddlers learn Spanish through songs, images, activities and dance. Students become familiar with Spanish through conversation in Spanish and learning numbers, body parts, colors, etc in Spanish.
Physical Education
Toddlers are always on the move. The environment is designed to allow free movement with ass little restriction as possible. Students are guided to movements including yoga, dance, exercise, obstacles courses and more with the intention of gaining independence through movement.
Practical Life
Toddlers will learn how to prepare food, share stories, care for themselves and their environment. Toddlers will also learn courtesy, welcoming guests, how to serve others andand social customs. Our young children will also begin to explore the reality of community and feel included.
Sensorial
Everyone begins learning through their senses. Students will begin to understand their environment with the help of sensorial activities shaped to help with exercise, of organizing, combining, learning about their sensory input while developing fine motor skills and focus.
Culture
Art is not only about physical expression. It also lays the groundwork for writing. Toddlers are introduced to a variety of forms of hands-on, interactive artto inspire sensorial and physical exploration.
The human hand, so delicate and so complicated, not only allows the mind to reveal itself but it enables the whole being to enter into a special relationship with its environment.
