Warwick Child Care understands this age group's need for independent explorations, acting primarily as a guide and facilitator. Our teachers create an atmosphere of acceptance by validating each child's efforts and thereby, enhancing his or her self-esteem. Our goals for our Older Toddler class are:  | Cognitive development by matching colors, shapes, and objects, by understanding quantity, and by fitting objects together |  | Social-emotional development by presenting opportunities to engage in parallel play |  | Fine motor development through puzzles, lacing, buttons, and block play |  | To provide opportunities to strengthen their newly developed self-help skills |  | Develop physical skills through marching, running, hopping, jumping, and ball play |  | Intellectual stimulation through identifying, sorting, and classifying objects |  | Eye-hand coordination through puzzles, stacking blocks, pegboards, stringing beads, and shape sorting toys |  | Art activities offer opportunities to enhance skills through a variety of materials including coloring, gluing, finger-painting, cutting, and much more |
