Grounded in the Oklahoma Early Learning Standards, this comprehensive curriculum seamlessly blends essential learning areas to promote holistic growth in toddlers.
Language and Literacy Development
Our curriculum emphasizes the critical foundation of language and literacy. Educators will guide toddlers through interactive read-alouds, fostering an early love for books. Children will engage with visuals to enhance vocabulary—recognizing and identifying familiar objects and animals. Additionally, they will begin practicing writing through purposeful scribbling and exploring shapes, while developing verbal communication skills through gestures and simple phrases.
Mathematics
In the realm of mathematics, toddlers will explore foundational concepts of counting, recognizing numbers, and understanding early operations like addition and subtraction through play. Educators will introduce geometry and measurement through sorting activities and positional language, providing toddlers with the tools to make sense of their environment and the world around them.
Science Exploration
Our science segment invites toddlers to become little explorers! Through hands-on experiences, they will learn about cause and effect while investigating the properties of materials. They will also develop an understanding of living things and their needs, enhancing their observational skills as they witness changes in their surroundings over time.
Social Studies Awareness
The social studies component helps toddlers begin to navigate relationships and identity. Educators will support children in recognizing family members, practicing social skills, and understanding their place within a community. Through interactive activities, toddlers will gain insights into the roles of community helpers and develop a sense of belonging.
Development of Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Physical development is crucial at this age, and our curriculum addresses both fine and gross motor skills through engaging activities. Educators will encourage toddlers to practice grasping and manipulating objects, while also emphasizing coordination and balance through active play. Children will thrive as they explore their physical capabilities in both structured and unstructured settings.
Creative Arts Expression
The curriculum fosters a spirit of creativity through extensive opportunities in music and visual arts. Educators will facilitate experiences that allow toddlers to explore sounds and rhythm, encouraging self-expression through movement and song. In visual arts, toddlers will engage with various materials, inspiring free artistic expression while introducing basic elements of art such as color and shape.
