Toddlers
Philosophy
In the toddlers room we aim to provide a happy, relaxed and secure environment makes to make every child feel safe.
Each child also needs to feel a sense of belonging and this is achieved through affection, respect and reassurance. In this way we l enable all the children to reach their own individual potential.
Goals
Our long tern goals cover the five areas given below. Each child is continuously observed and programs are developed based on these observations.
Self Sufficiency and Independence
- Through guidance and modeling we aim to assist children to develop skills to be more independent and develop self confidence.
These self help skills include toilet training, feeding, dressing and recognising belongings.
Language Skills
-
We believe children learn language without explicit instruction, through meaningful experiences, listening and experimenting.
We encourage this in our day-to-day program.
Language development is fostered through group times, general conversations, and through music and play.
Cognitive Skills
- Cognitive development involves exploration, experimentation and the engagement of the mind in thinking.
Children are encouraged to develop cognitive skills through activities such as reading, drawing, construction, dramatic play, art and craft. The environment and open-ended questions are used to stimulate thinking and problem solving skills.
Fine and Gross Motor Skills
- We aim to enhance the children’s fine and gross motor skills by setting up our environment, both indoor and out, to challenge children. The environment includes a wide range of activities which encourage the development of large muscles, small muscles and co-ordination.
Social/Emotional Skills
- The children are involved in positive experiences with adults and their peers. Through interaction children develop positive attitudes towards themselves, their families, their peers, and the community as a whole. Children are provided with opportunities to learn about their emotions and about empathy for others. They are given the opportunities to learn how to express themselves appropriately and learn self-discipline.
