The Toddler Explorers program is offered to infants when they are mobile and ready for a classroom experience.
When your toddler comes to Skipwith Academy, he or she will have many opportunities with which to be engaged. When you look into a busy Explorers classroom, you will see toddlers painting, singing and dancing to music, pouring water at the sensory table, stacking blocks, placing objects on a peg board, playing in the pretend kitchen and turning pages of a board book in their library. On our specially designed outdoor space you will see active toddlers that are running, climbing, scooting, and tossing balls.
More Than Toddler Daycare: Early Education for Toddlers!
Explorer teachers will nurture and guide your toddler as he or she develops a sense of self. Continuity of care is an essential ingredient in creating a safe and secure learning environment for each child. Toddlers have a natural desire to explore and discover. Our experienced and well-trained teachers understand this as they encourage the children in their care to investigate materials in the classroom exploration centers. Your Explorer will be familiar with his or her daily routine and thrive in this specially designed environment.
As a parent in the Toddler Explorers program you will be provided ongoing communication about your child’s day. Explorer family events are planned frequently to highlight class projects and activities that are based upon the emerging interests of the toddlers.
In small primary care groups our responsive Explorer teachers nurture and guide toddlers as they develop a sense of self.
Individualized Learning Experiences
Your toddler’s teacher will design a weekly individualized lesson plan that promotes social and emotional growth, communication, and motor skill development. These planned activities in our educational toddler daycare will assist your child in constructing knowledge to help him or her learn about the world around them.
