intellichildren’s daily classroom practice and programming objectives are designed to support the programs philosophy and the established long-term goals. Goals for toddlers in our care include:

Respecting each child as a unique and special person; attending to each child’s physical and psychological needs; fostering and developing a relationship with a caregiver the child can trust; providing a safe, healthy, and developmentally appropriate environment; creating opportunities to interact with other infants and toddlers; and, supporting children in their exploration and use of all their senses.

Curriculum
The Wee Walker, or toddler, curriculum builds upon the developmental skills mastered in the infant program. intellichildren designed the toddler classroom and outdoor environment around a theme of over, under, around and through- all from a toddler’s point of view. Quiet places, romping spaces, and laps to sit on are available at all times. Teachers plan curriculum on a weekly basis around a theme such as primary colors, nursery rhymes, pets, farm animals and seasonal activities.

Teachers pull from a wise variety of toddler-appropriate curriculum to keep these young children busy. Listed below are just a few of the activities wee walkers love to do:
