Toddlers (24 to 35 months)

Our toddler program is designed for children 24 months to 35 months of age. We focus on creating a learning environment for this age group based on play while introducing them to science, art, music and language. At this age, children are sensory-motivated. They learn through touching, tasting, seeing and smelling as well as listening to others. Our goal is to enhance education by utilizing the natural curiosity of the toddler and to teach them that learning can be fun.

Our staff is caring and trained in early childhood learning so they can help your child learn at his or her own pace. They work with each child’s personality to give them a positive experience where learning is part of everyday life rather than taught at specific times. The toddler program continues to build upon the basic areas of development from the infant. Some of the areas they will work on include the following:

• Communication – toddlers learn how to express themselves and have their needs met through words
• Emotional development – toddlers will learn how to name their emotions and handle them in a positive way
• Cognitive learning – this age group develops a bigger vocabulary and builds upon their imagination
• Fine and Gross motor skills- as they get older, toddlers become more independent, building on their social skills.
• Social skills – toddlers learn more about playing with others and sharing as they develop relationships with teachers and other students.

Toddlers are encouraged to participate in daily routines to develop self-help skills and to feel good about themselves. They are introduced to basic colors, shapes, numbers, songs, rhymes, and basic Spanish. Our staff is committed to creatively designing a fun-filled curriculum and learning environment for each child based on their unique needs and personalities. Rising Stars Learning Academy provides a first rate learning experience for every child that comes through our doors. Stop by and find out if our child care program is the right fit for your toddler.
