Toddler Care (10 months and walking through 30 months) In our toddler program, teachers understand that these children learn with their whole bodies. They learn more by doing than being told. Toddlers discover their world on a physical level, so it is expected that they will prefer walking, climbing, carrying objects, dumping, or dropping objects to sitting, picking up toys, or playing only in a designated space. These large muscle activities are the legitimate activities of being a toddler. In planning for toddlers, our primary caregivers are prepared to be flexible and spontaneous.
Toddlers are working on being independent. The caregiver respects this and allows opportunities for the child to be responsible and to make choices. This teacher also understands why certain behaviors must be limited, and sets limits that are fair and consistent. Our teachers, with patience, warmth and respect, redirect toddlers to help guide them toward controlling their impulses and behaviors. The teacher draws more attention to a child’s appropriate behavior than to the inappropriate because he/she understands that toddlers will act in the way that draws the most attention.
