The Toddler Program (13 months to 2 ½ years)

The Malvern School understands a toddler’s need for autonomy, balanced with a secure routine.  Our teaching staff provides opportunities for toddlers to explore and develop in a safe environment.

Our goals for the Toddler class are:

• Language skills though comprehension games, nursery rhymes, fantasies, stories, poems, fingerplays, vocabulary and one-on-one conversations
• Physical skills by throwing, stacking, building, eye-hand coordination, climbing, hopping, creative movement and riding toys
• Social and emotional skills through empathy, independence and sharing
• Musical skills through lullabies, singing and rhythm instruments
• Development of creative thinking skills and encouragement of creativity through arts and crafts activities
• Observation of characteristics such as light and dark colors, shapes, textures and patterns
• Discovery of all senses and feelings to interpret the world around them
• Opportunities for exploration and learning in the Fascination Station
