Toddler Program
About
Welcome to our Toddler program at Trinity Lutheran Preschool! This program serves children from 18 months to 3 years of age. When children reach the age of 2, we do our best to accommodate their developmental needs and will place them in the advanced toddler room, if space permits. While attending the advanced toddler program, children will learn potty training skills and other developmentally appropriate activities. We offer 2, 3, 4 or 5 full day schedules to fit your family’s needs. Our hours of operation are from 6:45am – 6:00pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Ratio
Enrollment is limited in order to maintain a low pupil-teacher ratio. (Our pupil-teacher ratios are at or below state requirements in order to ensure a quality educational program.)
Beginning Toddlers ~ 6:1
Advanced Toddlers ~ 9:1
Rassoon Class, Beginning Toddlers
The toddlers in the Duckling class love one-on-one time with their teacher and exploring new experiences. We use research backed curriculum as our guide and supplement with plenty of art and hands on experiences that enhance learning. The Christian faith is integrated throughout the day in all that they do. All children attend a weekly chapel service.
Chimpunk Class, Advanced Toddlers
The Bear Cub Class is the Advanced Toddler Class. A researched backed curriculum is also the guiding curriculum in this classroom. These children will have daily circle time, art projects, lots of gross motor and fine motor skill activities where their natural learning is enhanced. The faith is also integrated throughout their day and weekly chapel is a favorite for this age group. This is our potty-training class, so your efforts at home with potty training are mirrored here.

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
