Math activities such as, figures for sorting, shape boxes for matching, cups to stack by size, and sensory tables to learn comparison of quantity and volume. We help one and two-year-olds take their first steps towards understanding math by:
- Using "number talk" such as more / less, under / over, inside / outside, full / empty
- Counting to 2 or 3 during activities such as snack time
- Talking about time in daily conversations ("Now…then…last")
- Playing sorting and matching games
Toddlers have a strong sense of curiosity about how things work and an innate desire to make sense of the world. We put scientific learning into all aspects of a toddler’s day by offering opportunities to:
- Explore multiple solutions during story times
- Play with puzzles and busy boxes
- Manipulate play dough with tools such as cookie cutters and rolling pins
- Experiment with volume through sand, and water play at the sensory table
- Formulate "why, what, how?" questions in daily interactions
We encourage creativity and innovation by engaging children in artistic experiences that allow them to explore art with all their senses. It enhances development in other areas including literacy, math, and science. Your toddler will:
- Explore sensory materials - squishy clay, textured sponges, and scented paint
- Experiment with and explore colors
- Play, shake, and strum instruments
- Dance with scarves to varied types of music
- Participate in pretend play
- Play with puppets
Daily activities such as watering flowers, viewing diverse family photos, and playing with differently-abled dolls help toddlers begin to step outside their own boundaries and to embrace concepts such as acceptance, diversity, and personal responsibility.

- Practice small muscle skills like drawing, writing or cutting
- Spend time in the natural world
- Identify healthy foods and growing vegetables from seed
- Practice proper hygiene
- Follow simple safety rules
