Our Early Toddler Classroom Set-up
Here’s more information about our early toddler
classroom setup and safety measures
Kid Sized Everything!
When you walk into our early toddler classrooms, the first thing you notice is that everything is at kid-size.
The tables and chairs are lower to the ground, and the shelves are within easy reach.
This way, kids can get the books and toys they want right away. No more waiting for teachers!
Photos and Labels!
In our early toddler classrooms, we properly label toy bins and shelves with labels and photos.
Early toddlers have an easier time connecting names with photos as their cubbies are also labeled.
We believe labels help build confidence while your child becomes familiar with the room.
The Day of an Early Toddler
Our loving teachers plan a full day for early toddlers. The day consists of group time, story time, meals, snacks, and naps.
Most importantly, we make sure there’s lots of playtime (because we know so much learning happens when they play with attentive teachers nearby).
Group Time
Group time provides an important opportunity for early toddlers to practice their communication skills.
Through group time, they learn how to take turns, share ideas, and listen to others.
Meals and Snacks
As any parent knows, mealtime with an early toddler can be a challenge.
But at TenderCare, we make sure that every child gets a nutritious and well-rounded meal.
Outside Playtime
Early toddlers are full of energy and they never seem to stop moving, and always exploring their surroundings.
That’s why we make sure your little one has outside fun at least twice a day.
Safety and Security
At TenderCare, our classrooms are places where early toddlers can feel comfortable and safe. With our inclusive design, we build warm and secure classrooms!
Early Toddler Curriculum
No two early toddlers are alike, and that’s what makes them so special. At TenderCare, we understand that every early toddler is unique and has their own interests.
That’s why we provide a variety of age-appropriate resources and curriculum to help them learn and grow. Whether they love making art, stacking blocks, or reading books, we’ll help them explore their interests in a safe and healthy environment.
With our experienced staff and state-of-the-art facilities, your early toddler will have everything they need to thrive.
Daily development
Early toddlers are exploring and building their abilities in all sorts of ways. Each day, they’re building their brain power and strong bodies through a variety of activities. Sorting, counting, and measuring things help contribute to the overall development of early toddlers.
Learning to interact with others
The ability to empathize with others is also an important ingredient in developing positive relationships. Through play, toddlers learn how to interact with others, express themselves, and resolve conflicts. These are essential skills that lay the foundation for success in daycare and in life.
Building vocabulary
Early toddlers build their vocabulary one or two words at a time. They also develop vocabulary by scribbling and turning pages in books. Additionally, early exposure to books and other literacy materials helps prepare them for school and sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Being creative
When it comes to creativity, early toddlers are often underestimated. But at TenderCare, we understand that even at a young age, they have a lot to express. Through mediums like clay and movement, they can communicate their thoughts and feelings in ways that are pure and innocent.
Early Toddler Classroom Activities
Early toddlers are given the opportunity to engage in creative activities that will help them grow and develop.
Our teachers provide guidance for any early toddler’s needs, no matter how specific they may be!
Building Imagination
As any parent knows, early toddlers have boundless imaginations. They can transform a simple box into a fort, or a stack of pillows into a mountain.
Car Play
When early toddlers play with cars, they are exploring their own abilities and limits. They are learning how to control their movements and how to make the car go where they want it to go.
Little Gardeners
Early toddlers learn so much by feeling the different textures of toy gardening tools and digging in the dirt.
