Toddler one- or two-day programs are designed to promote social skills and independence in the children. In September, we run shortened classes for our toddlers to help everyone ease into the program. Here is an example of what to expect in a typical Toddler class:

• Playtime in the classroom – activities include play dough, sand, art activities, blocks, housekeeping centre and a variety of toys
• Tidy up as a group and wash hands for snack time
• Snack time – the preschool provides a nutritious snack
• Circle time – we sit together to sing songs and play games
• As the children develop their attention span, the circle time becomes longer and we introduce some concepts such as numbers and taking turns in games
• Gross motor activities – either outside or in the gym – children play with a variety of riding toys, balls etc. and are encouraged to play active games
