Independence and Emotional Growth

Growing Independence and Curiosity

At the Adventurers stage, children begin to assert their independence and express more defined likes and dislikes.

Skill Development

Motor Skills and Exploration

Toddlers love to move, run, and climb, and we provide opportunities for them to develop gross motor skills while they express their preferences for certain types of play. Some may love running outside, while others prefer quieter activities, like stacking blocks.

Toddlers become more aware of their preferences and are quick to show what they like and dislike. They may gravitate toward a favorite toy or game, and express frustration when things don’t go their way. Our educators help them navigate these emotions, teaching them how to express their feelings constructively.

Emotional Preferences and Self-Expression

Language Development

This stage is a key period for language development, as toddlers begin forming words and short sentences. They use language to express their likes and dislikes, such as asking for their favorite toy or food, and we support this growing skill through conversations and storytelling.

Social Interaction and Emotional Intelligence

Toddlers are just starting to play alongside their peers, learning to share and cooperate. They begin to recognize that others have their own likes and dislikes, which helps them develop empathy and social skills.

School Bus

Outdoor play where toddlers can choose their favorite activities.

Morning Exploration

Opportunities for artistic expression and developing preferences through painting, drawing, and building.

Creative Time

We encourage toddlers to express their preferences and help them learn to manage their emotions.
