Two's

The Older Toddler curriculum promotes verbal ability, critical thinking and cognitive, physical, social and emotional skills. Learning centers contain more complex materials, matching the increasing abilities of Older Toddlers. Teachers guide children's exploration of the arts, dramatic play, books and literacy, small manipulatives and math, science and computers. Small and large group activities promote social interaction and allow the entire class to explore interesting, exciting themes. Because children learn best through play, all activities include fun and laughter.

A.F.R. Discovery Kids World Academy's Older toddler Program is a comfortable, smooth transition point, a stopping-off between our toddler and preschool programs, as children's self-control and personal awareness are getting stronger. They chatter with their neighbors during Circle Time, investigate the way a mirror reflects the sun, and solve shape puzzles. Teachers foster self-esteem and social interaction skills.

Older Toddlers demonstrate their increased physical and social skills and awareness during self-directed exploration time and group activities. Plenty of play, both indoors and outdoors, stimulates the senses. Well-planned rest times give them a chance to recoup, readying them for adventure and fun. During snacks and meals, children enjoy nutritious food with friends. Teachers also use this time to encourage autonomy. If children are still learning toilet training, caregivers help complete the lesson. At the end of every day we provide You details about your child's day.
