Toddlers & Pre-School

The toddler years are filled with curiosity and the emergence of many new talents and skills. We have two toddler rooms and one transitional toddler/preschool classroom. The Toddler Room staff is committed to providing your child a safe, stimulating and developmentally appropriate environment where you child can learn and grow. Also, we look forward to sharing and talking with all of our parents about the daily joys of your child’s growth. You are an integral part of your child’s education here at the Early Childhood Center (ECC) and at home. Thank you for letting us travel on this journey with you.

Components of the Toddler Program

The ages of children enrolled in this program are approximately 16 through 36 months. The classrooms have teachers, assistant teachers and aides to maintain the appropriate child to teacher ratio. Because the toddler room staff follows stringent state safety guidelines, you can be assured of a safe, secure, and positive environment where your child can grow and develop a sense of identity and self-confidence. Each of the toddlers spends the majority of his or her day in the security of the classroom. They venture outside of the classroom for weekly swim lessons, art classes and organized physical education activities. A Jewish music teacher comes to each class weekly.


Preschoolers

The children are full of wonder as they develop a sense of trust in their teachers, a sense of competence in themselves, and the ability to initiate activities. Play is the work of childhood. Through their active involvement with their environment, children try to make sense of the world around them. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum, implemented by our experienced and highly trained and nurturing staff, seeks to maximize the socio-emotional development, and the cognitive and physical development of each individual child. We partner closely with all of our parents as they are an integral part of your child’s education here at the Early Childhood Center (ECC) and at home.
