The Toddler Classes are the introduction into our SJDS family. Everyone loves to look over our door and see the happy faces that fill the room. Singing, dancing, moving, snacking, painting, cooking, building, playing, and anything else that we can manage fills our days! This age is so rewarding in regards to change and milestones throughout the year. The children learn routines, skills and social cues like no other, and it’s amazing to facilitate and watch. Our class loves coming to school and they love one other!
Two philosophies from Ann Douglas, The Mother of All Toddler Books: “No two children follow the exact same timeline in growth and development,” and “Growth is not a steady forward, upward progression. It is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two back, one around the bushes, and a few simply standing before another forward leap.” This aligns with our philosophy at SJDS: young children learn best through play. With that as our focus, we will tap into your toddler's energy and interests to guide play experiences that they will enjoy. We will also give them plenty of opportunities to sort out their emotions, practice new skills and celebrate their achievements.
