Toddler Program | oxford stcoop

Toddlers are between 15 and 24 months of age as of September 1. We are licensed for nine children, for an adult to child ratio of 1:4 or 2:9. Toddler Program Goals: 

To provide a balance of physical affection and autonomy, in which children are encouraged to explore and discover.
To foster self-help skills such as feeding, dressing, and caring for oneself which lead to a feeling of self-accomplishment.
To stimulate and develop each child’s senses and creative expression through different art mediums such as: sand, water, paint, shaving cream, playdoh, etc.
To provide opportunities for learning through social interactions with one another.
To develop cognitive and language development skills through books, pictures, music, and drama.
To help build gross motor control through climbing, dancing, exercise, and other fun games.
To build upon children’s natural curiosity of the world around them through music, social studies, science experiments, cooking, and mathematics.
To build a home-school partnership that provides consistency for each child and builds upon his/her strengths, as well as creates goals for areas needing improvement.
