planting the roots of education



Waddlers
1 teacher to 5 students
12 months to 18 months
​
This is one of the silliest classrooms in our school. Children are becoming more independent and really starting to show off their developing personalities. In this classroom our students are introduced to a more structured schedule, to aid in the transition from infant to toddler. The schedule is flexible, and allows us to make accommodations based on the needs of the children.
Children in this classroom should be able to self-feed, and need just one nap a day. They will learn to use a spoon and fork to feed themselves. Children will work on sharing with friends and taking turns. They will also build upon their language skills through circle time and free play. We introduce some basic educational concepts such as counting, color and shape recognition, and we continue learning through sensory exploration!
