Waddlers
1 teacher to 5 students - 12 months to 18 months​
​
This classroom represents one of the more dynamic environments within our school, fostering increasing independence among children as they further develop their unique personalities. Here, students are gradually introduced to a structured schedule designed to support their transition from infancy to toddlerhood. The schedule remains adaptable to accommodate the individual needs of each child.
​
Children enrolled in this classroom are expected to self-feed and require only one nap per day. They receive guidance in using utensils such as spoons and forks. Instruction focuses on essential social skills including sharing and turn-taking. Language development is promoted through activities such as group discussions and role-play. Foundational educational concepts, including counting, color and shape recognition—are introduced, with ongoing learning facilitated through sensory exploration.
