Toddlers

As your baby begins to grow into their own little person, their desire to learn, explore, and engage grows by leaps and bounds. Our desire at Children’s Treehouse is to equip them with all the tools and skills needed during this exciting transition.

Our teachers are committed to helping your little one explore the different developmental stages they go through by pursuing and creating healthy, social and emotional boundaries. It is our desire to create an environment for your ambitious and curious toddlers to look, listen, wiggle, roll, crawl, climb, rock, bounce, rest, eat, make noise, grasp or mouth or drop things, and be messy from time to time with gentle guidance from their teachers.

We believe it is important to plan a consistent, daily routine that makes sense to children and flexes to meet their needs, yet is consistent. Following the same routine day after day gives toddlers the sense of security they need. Our daily schedule includes:

Choice Time— Children are given time to play and explore the environment at their own pace.

Group Times— Teachers provide a particular set of materials for children to explore in a common activity. Although teachers introduce the activities, children remain free to make choices about materials and how to use them.

Outside Time— This segment of the day allows children to explore the outdoor world. Our teachers support children's exploration and interests, providing open-ended materials and a variety of experiences.

Caregiving Routines— In addition to strengthening bonds with children during meals, rest, and bodily care routines, teachers also use care giving routines as moments to teach self-sufficiency by finding ways for the children to play an active role. Caregivers fit these times around children's exploration and play.

Transitions — Transition times between activities are kept flexible, based on children's needs and engagement in their play, and the shift in events or activities are kept low-key and comfortable. Our teachers organize the parts of the day in a logical fashion, just as one would do in one's personal routine.

Our teachers seek to guide your child’s physical, educational, and emotional growth by pursuing kinds of activities that will help them to thrive in their own, unique development.
