Curriculum

Older Toddlers

The children in this group range in ages 2-3.  The routine and schedule of the classroom provides ample free play time.  Most of the day should still remain child directed.  The caregiver's role in this room is to help facilitate the child's play and social interactions.  Problem solving and conflict resolution skills are a major component to the daily curriculum in this age group.  

Circle time or "group time" is introduced in this age group.  This a large group activity where children are encouraged to join the entire class in a teacher led activity.  Children are encouraged to join and stay as long as they are able to.  Teacher led activities during group time typically include but are not limited to songs, fingerplays, games and story telling.
