Toddler School Program
Teaching at a Toddler’s Pace
Our Toddler Program
Toddlers learn so much about the world around them – and fast. In fact, toddlers develop faster than almost any other age group. They are all about speed, learning to sing, talk, and run all at once. Lightbridge Academy’s toddler school program offers more than just a nursery school, and we make the most of every one of your child’s milestones at this fast-paced age.
Every day my son comes home and teaches me something new. Last week I learned how to say ‘octopus’ in sign language. His excitement is overflowing!”
Our Toddler School Curriculum
Lightbridge Academy’s toddler school curriculum specifically addresses toddlers’ rapid growth and development by catering to their readiness cues, with older toddler curriculum focused on preparing for preschool and beyond. When they display interest or signs of emerging skills, we can encourage them to move to the next challenge.
Our toddler classrooms feature center-based learning created to build upon the skills toddlers acquire at each stage of development. Learning areas are filled with fun and age-appropriate puzzles, manipulatives, games, and toys to encourage your child’s development in the following areas:
- Creative Arts and Music: Music, repetition, and movement are infused into group time and transitions. Creative arts are explored through textures, design and, of course, your child’s imagination!
- Physical and Well-Being: By walking and running, toddlers are gaining control over small and large muscles, fine-tuning their movements, and carving out their very own paths.
- Language and Literacy: Muscle control and cognitive advancements make way for very interesting conversations, which we relish and encourage, as toddlers express their thoughts and needs.
- Mathematics and Science: Teachers utilize counting, patterning, and matching colors and shapes, providing an early foundation for science and math.
- Social and Emotional Well-Being: Well-Being: Independence shines through as toddlers choose friends and delight in pleasing adults. Positive reinforcement encourages good behavior and creates enjoyable learning experiences.
- Cognitive Skills: Cognitive progression in toddlers means less trial and error, and more deliberate actions. Toddlers will also begin to develop a longer attention span and a preference for particular people, places, and things.
