We will provide each child with a mat and sheet that will be laundered once a week or as needed during the week due to accidents. We will give them their blanket/pillow/nap cuddly and rub their back, if needed. We play soft soothing music to help them rest. This is an important part of the day as well. Important brain development goes on during this quiet rest time. LABEL – LABEL – LABEL all items please!

Toddlers love to explore and express their curiosity with the world around them. When toddlers are uncooperative, even defiant they need adults who are gentle and firm to enforce reasonable limits, but also understand the difficulty that toddlers are having. The following are characteristics of a toddler: They are egocentric – they believe that they are the center of the world. They have a lack of understanding and a lack of self-control. Toddlers often have good intentions, but bad implementation. It is important for us to show encouragement and appreciation of the good intention. Discipline with toddlers is a matter of planning, setting clear limits and expectations, redirection and logical consequences done in a loving and caring manner.

Our Toddler Playground is separated from the preschool playground, with age-appropriate outdoor play toys including a sandbox, slides and other various items. Safety and security are very important to us, which is why all of our playgrounds are blocked by a 5 foot tall wall and are not visible from the street. As with preschool outdoor play, Toddler outdoor play is always supervised by a staff member.Item description
