FIRST CIRCLE NEEDHAM

toddler two

There’s SO much to look forward to in Toddler Two: science experiments, kicking balls and balance beams, painting, sing-a-longs and dancing, cooking, storytime, dress-up costumes, and making friends. 

Older toddlers are on the road to independence. They are discovering that they have a voice and that it matters—and that they can help themselves when they want. Following a routine-based schedule, children in Toddler Two discover the wonder of numbers and colors, and get the hang of using their words to share ideas and feelings. Circle time happens every day and children become fully engaged as they listen to stories and sing songs.

We encourage the children to play and explore, building their motor skills as they create, climb, and move around; and we help them share toys and take turns. And through stories, art projects, and games, they’re learning to love learning while building a strong academic foundation for preschool.

ready for friends

READY FOR FRIENDS is all about respecting toddlers’ unique personalities while helping them develop friendships and learn the rules and routines of a group.

We recognize each child as an individual with a unique style, temperament, and way of learning; we nurture children’s budding interests—within the safety of clear and consistent boundaries—and help them express who they are and what they feel.

Communication is an important part of our classroom. Each day, we’ll send you a report about your child’s day, including details about food, diaper changes, and learning activities.
