Toddler Program

      Our toddler program is specially designed with exploration and
growth in mind.  Toddlers spend the majority of their day busily
exploring a carefully planned environment.  Our caring and
responsive teachers understand that toddlers want to be
independent as well as emotionally supported in their daily activities.

      Jelly Bean Junction Toddler classrooms follow the Creative
Curriculum to plan experiences and environmental changes based
on the children’s interests and developing skills.  Teachers support
toddlers throughout daily routines.  Many teaching opportunities
arise during everyday toddler events.  Arrivals, departures, toilet
training, mealtime experiences, nap time, and dressing are guided
with positive praise.

      Teachers plan daily experiences that create a love of learning
and exploration.  Activities include playing with carefully selected
toys and equipment.  Teachers provide many opportunities for
children to imitate and pretend with many familiar props.  Children
enjoy daily literature experiences.  Art, Music, and Movement are
explored without restriction in order to foster the maximum amounts
of creativity.  Exploration also allows children to work within their
own comfort levels.  Cooking and sensory play are provided to
create a base for pre math and pre reading skills.  Toddlers enjoy a
variety of active play both inside and outdoors.
