TODDLER CLASSROOM

We recognize that the growth of a child is a gradual developmental process unique to each child. Our programs are designed to support each child’s natural curiosity for learning. Young children learn by doing and are motivated by their own desire to make sense of their world.

DAY IN THE LIFE

TODDLER PROGRAM

Daily Activities

Our toddlers participate in several daily activities in order to facilitate their learning and development.

Circle Time consists of learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, sign language, and Spanish words
Reading and Language activities where our students are read to every day, learn and practice nursery rhymes, begin to learn print awareness, and engage in other activities to promote and enhance early literacy and language skills
Number Sense and Early Math activates where our students will engage in various activities designed to promote and enhance early number and math development.
Art activities where our students will participate in child created art several times a week. We focus on process art which allows the children to express themselves through art.
Science and Sensory activities which encourage our students to explore the world around them in a safe learning environment.
Small and Large motor skills where the students will participate in activities to promote growth development in these areas.
Learning through play is our main focus at SFCL where we encourage all students to learn by exploring and interacting with their peers and environment.

Meals

Our Toddlers participate in our scheduled mealtimes and are served a Morning Snack, Lunch, and Afternoon Snack.

Nap Time

Our Toddlers participate in a scheduled nap time daily.

Outdoor Time

Our Toddler students go outside for at least one hour every day. They can enjoy playing on our playground, taking a nature walk around the building and grounds, or playing on our deck area by our pond. In the event the weather does not allow for safe outdoor play, our students will spend time in our Large Group room participating in large motor skill and group activities. Group play promotes social skills amongst the young children and is critical to child development.

A VARIETY OF HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES!

At Salem Fields Learning Center, your child will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of hands-on activities which are designed to support cognitive, fine/gross motor skills, social/emotional, and spiritual development. Our teachers closely observe to see what each child understands and then pose additional challenges to encourage their thinking further. Thus, our learning environment will foster and facilitate a child and teacher-directed activities.

ALL ABOUT

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP

During drop-off time, the teacher and the parent will spend time exchanging any important information the teacher needs to know for the day.

During pick-up time, the teacher will share with the parent how the child’s day went, answer any questions, and ensure the parent has all the child’s belongings to take home for the day.

Daily communication with our parents is important to us and a key part of having positive parent-teacher relationships. We utilize the Pro-Care App to keep our parents updated on their child’s daily activities, mealtimes, nap times etc.
