Talented Toddlers

2 - 2 1/2 Years

Talented Toddlers

A two year old learns best with structure and repetition. Our Talented Toddler’s day is designed so that the students know what to expect each day. Our circle time and thematic units are filled with fun songs and stories that will help your child’s vocabulary and continue to teach shapes, colors, numbers, etc. At age two, children like to start exploring their independence and doing things on his/her own. in our Talented Toddlers room, we foster that independence by allowing them to make choices and start completing simple tasks on their own. In this preschool classroom we use Animal Action Songs as part of our curriculum. It is fun and innovative and allows the students to learn their letters and letter sounds through movements and simple songs. Your child will also continue to learn through sensory experiments and imaginative play. Music and movement and outdoor play are also included in their fun filled day!

Alphabet Action

Alphabet Action is used in our toddler classrooms to teach students the importance of understanding the names and sounds of letters. This skill is one of the most crucial building blocks for beginning literacy. Alphabet Action is a collection of phonics and action songs taught through music. It is a powerful and enjoyable tool to help gain knowledge about alphabet letters and understand what they are, what they sound like, and what they look like. Alphabet Action has a diverse and catchy musical phrase for each letter.

Exploratory Classes

Students ages two years and older will have the opportunity to participate in each of the following exploratory classes once per week. These classes are included in your childcare tuition at no additional charge.

Students will be introduced to an early childhood music and movement program based on the belief that every child is musical. Research has proven that music nurtures a child’s cognitive, emotional, social, and language development. You will see your child grow and develop in all these areas at his or her own pace. Each daycare class is made up of singing and dancing activities, playing games, reading books, playing instruments, and more.

We are so excited to expand our music classes at Talented Tots to include the toddler classes. Toddler music classes will include singing, fingerplays, movement, dancing and instrument exploration. We will use fun songs to learn about animals, transportation, holidays, seasons, rhymes and much more. We will explore moving our fingers, hands and whole body because movement is key to learning. We will also nurture the toddler’s singing and speaking voice with an age-appropriate mix of songs and rhymes. Toddlers will explore instruments which are designed just for toddlers, like shakers and drums, as well as other non-musical props like balls, scarves, puppets and more. Be watching for lists of songs that we will be singing in class so you can sing along at home with their favorites.

Daily Schedule

As your child’s vocabulary increases, it’s important that they are given the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and begin learning about their environment. Our day is set up specifically for them to experience educational hands-on activities. Our curriculum, Alphabet Action, is an animated literacy program teaching kids letters, sounds, and early reading skills with stories and music.
