Maryland Toddler Home School Curriculum

Designed in alignment with Maryland’s Early Learning Standards, our comprehensive toddler curriculum is an engaging roadmap for home school educators who wish to foster holistic development in children aged 1 to 3 years. This curriculum emphasizes a well-rounded approach that incorporates language, mathematics, science, social studies, physical development, visual and performing arts, social-emotional growth, and innovative learning strategies. With activities tailored for young learners, educators will be empowered to create enriching experiences that cultivate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

Language and Literacy:

• Our language development framework encourages toddlers to communicate effectively through gestures, sounds, and an expanding vocabulary. By engaging with picture books and interactive storytelling, children will develop a love for reading while enhancing their comprehension and expressive skills.

Mathematics:

• We introduce foundational mathematics concepts such as counting, shape recognition, and pattern creation. Through playful activities, toddlers will explore numbers and learn to identify relationships, sparking a natural interest in mathematical thinking.

Science Exploration:

• Our science curriculum promotes hands-on inquiry, allowing toddlers to observe and interact with the world through their senses. Explorations in physical science, life science, and earth science foster a curious mind, where children will learn about cause and effect, animal and plant life, and weather.

Social Studies Insight:

• Understanding oneself and one's community is key at this stage. Our curriculum emphasizes personal identity, family roles, and cultural diversity, helping toddlers appreciate their place in the world and the importance of relationships.

Physical Development:

• We support the development of gross and fine motor skills through active play and creative projects. Simple health and safety lessons are interwoven to promote healthy habits from an early age.

Visual and Performing Arts:

• Creativity flourishes in our curriculum through music, dance, visual arts, and imaginative play. Toddlers will express themselves using a variety of artistic mediums, enhancing their cognitive abilities and emotional expression.

Social and Emotional Growth:

• Developed to support self-regulation and empathetic interactions, this portion of the curriculum helps toddlers learn to manage their emotions, share, cooperate, and understand the feelings of others. Storytelling and role-playing are central techniques.

Approaches to Learning:

• Our curriculum nurtures curiosity and initiative, encouraging toddlers to explore and learn autonomously. Problem-solving and creativity are emphasized, equipping young learners with essential life skills that extend beyond the classroom.
