Toddler Two
At Holway Early Childhood Centers, our Toddler Two program is designed to support your child's growth and development through play-based learning experiences.
Our curriculum is carefully crafted to engage toddlers in a variety of activities, including:
- Science and STEM
- Sensory exploration
- Art and creative expression
- Dramatic play
- Gross and fine motor skill development
- Language and reading
- Music
We follow Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, tailoring our approach to meet each child's individual learning needs.
A Day in Toddler Two
A typical day in Toddler Two is filled with a variety of engaging activities. Children enjoy free play time to explore their imaginations, as well as guided activities to foster learning. We believe in the importance of outdoor exploration, so we venture outside whenever the weather permits. Group activities, art projects, and story time encourage social interaction and creativity. To keep their energy levels up, we provide morning and afternoon snacks, followed by a satisfying lunch. After a busy morning, we enjoy a quiet nap or rest time to recharge, preparing for more fun in the afternoon.
