Toddlers 1 to 3 years

We help toddlers explore their environment with all their senses so they can start to experience their independence and learn to develop their social skills and express what they need with words. We help them begin to learn ways to manage their frustrations and to appreciate the need for empathy and quiet time. 

Toddlers gradually learn to live and be part of a group:

• Play with a friend in a sharing manner
  
• Have fun in a group
  
• Begin to feel respect for rules
  
• Begin to understand why certain routines are helpful
   

Toddlers develop feelings of security and belonging to a group

• Add new words to their vocabulary to help them ask for what they need or feel
  
• Explore ways to talk about their different emotions
  
• Gradually become independent and confident 
  
• Look forward to going to daycare
