Teaching Tree

Chipmunks - 1 year olds
The Chipmunks room is for children 1-2 years old. These little ones are developing their gross motor skills by discovering the thrill of walking, developing their fine motor skills by pointing, manipulating, grabbing and learning language and social skills. Our teachers use Sing Me a Story theme based curriculum and basic sign when developing an age appropriate weekly lesson plan. They also introduce the CARES philosophy that teaches children about caring, cooperation, safe environments, assertiveness, relationship skills, emotional regulation and self-control. Our ratios are 1:5 with a maximum group size of 9 children. In all of our toddler classrooms we encourage learning through play.

Otters - 2 year olds
The Otters room is for toddlers 2-3 years old and focuses on preparing the children for preschool. Sing Me a Story is a theme based curriculum used for planning daily activities that incorporate small and large motor skills, art, science, math and language, library, and housekeeping based on the child's developmental skills. The CARES model is followed in the development of social and emotional skills such as caring and sharing, showing empathy to friends and family, and helping others. We offer a 1:5 ratio with a maximum group size of 10. In all of our toddler classrooms we encourage learning through play. Play helps toddlers master movements, stimulates language use, builds self confidence, boosts friend making skills and thrills the senses.
