Toddlers

Our toddlers follow the same goals and objectives as our infant room has. (See the infant link for the full list) Typically, children enrolled in our toddler programs are between the ages of one and three years old.

We also encourage a lot more self-help skills. In the toddler one room the children learn to wash their own hands for example but in the toddler two & three rooms we take it a step further and introduce family style dining where the children attempt to serve themselves (with an adult eye on them at all times) and the children transition from sippy cups to small paper cups.

Some children begin to potty train in the toddler one room. We typically see training in the toddler two & three or preschool rooms. These major milestones are sometimes challenging for families, sometimes more for mom and dad than the child. Our teachers have vast experience both with actual training and we have a stockpile of related articles. This expertise is something we enjoy sharing.

As always, this time is rich in social experiences from negotiating whose turn is next to working out how to fit in with a group of new friends. Children in our toddler program have the opportunity to practice their new social skills over and over again with their peers at Appleseeds.
