About This Classroom

Our Toddler Classroom is designed for children ages 2 to 2.5 years of age who are growing in independence and ready for more structured learning experiences. This classroom helps bridge the gap between early and late toddlerhood by encouraging responsibility, routine, and social development in a nurturing, Christ-centered environment.

CURRICULUM

While in the Jungle Room, children participate in circle time, music and movement, and guided activities that encourage language development, listening skills, and peer interaction. Our curriculum introduces foundational early learning concepts through hands-on activities, play, and “bite-sized” circle time lessons. In this class, our learning objectives focus on colors, letters & numbers, shapes, basic concepts, and Bible stories.

Daily Routine

Our structured, yet flexible, routine balances learning and active play which supports both cognitive growth and physical development. Click here for a glimpse into a typical daily schedule for our Jungle students.

Diapering Procedure

Children are changed every two hours or sooner if needed. Diapers are checked frequently throughout the day to maintain cleanliness and comfort.

Napping Procedure

Children rest on individual cots during nap time. Teachers may sit beside a child and gently pat his or her back to help them fall asleep as needed. A fitted sheet and blanket are required for nap time.

Meals

Families provide three meals daily (morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack), ensuring children have familiar and appropriate foods as they continue transitioning to solids. We ask that all foods sent in are meals that you know your child will eat; any new foods should be introduced at home in order to avoid allergic reactions from happening at school or disinterest from the child. Please be sure to have your child’s food containers and packaging clearly labeled with his/her first and last name.
