Ages 2-3: Toddler Classroom at Northwest Center Kids Early Learning
Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers and Twos
Our Toddler classroom supports children in a safe and caring environment as they begin practicing new social, language, and motor skills. Teachers provide responsive care and focus on building a trusting relationship with each child.
Toddlers are exploring their sense of self and interest in the peers and caregivers who share their days. We support toddlers in experimenting and practicing new social, language, and motor skills in a safe and caring environment. Our Toddler classroom at Northwest Center Kids includes:
- Toys that encourage cooperative and imaginative play while negotiating social interactions with peers
- Sensory play and scientific experimentation with fun substances, such as modeling compounds and “slime”
- Teacher-led discussions and activities that nurture pre-literacy skills
- Weekly activities where kids work on language development and explore body movement, such as yoga
Inside our Toddler Classroom
-
Toddlers collaborate with friends while they become more independent with an emerging sense of self.

Weekly extracurricular activities include Spanish lessons and yoga.

Toddlers explore their world through experimentation with different tools at the sensory table, pushing and pulling toys in our motor room, and dressing up in our dramatic play area.
-
There are plenty of opportunities to create art with crayons, markers, paint, and glue.
-
Children build literacy skills through teacher-led story time and discussion, and by exploring a wide variety of fun and interesting books.

Toddlers enjoy family-style breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, all vegetarian and prepared by our in-house chef. Sunny days might even include a picnic.
