Toddlers

Ages 12 - 24 Months            

Our toddler program provides an environment that meets the developmental needs of your child during these crucial and formative years. Using “Developmentally Appropriate Practices” and the development milestones for children 12-24 months. Toddler learning activities are presented to allow learning experiences within a predictable routine environment.

Teachers use “baby sign” language to encourage communication in toddlers long before their speech develops. “Baby signs” builds on the natural method of using gestures to allow toddlers to “speak.”

Children thrive in a well-ordered, predictable environment where daily routines such as arrivals, departures, meal times, nap times, and toileting are dealt with consistently by all caregivers.  These routines also offer children a sense of stability and feelings of warmth and caring from their teachers. They also provide opportunities for students to learn about themselves, the world, and other people.

A detailed “Daily Information” sheet is completed throughout the day and includes information on feedings, diapering, napping, and activities.


Full time and part time offered (availability varies)

Ages 24-36 months                            

Two-year-olds like to be independent! Their favorite phrases seem to be, “I do it!”, “Mine!”, and “No”.  Emotions take on a roller coaster-like quality as twos go from excitement to anger to laughter within a matter of minutes. They are exploring the world around them with an unparalleled intensity.

Cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development is incorporated into the learning experience for your child at Open Arms Early Learning Childcare Center.
