Older Toddler

In the Older Toddler class we concentrate on self-help skills, such as:

Toilet training
Dressing and undressing
Self-feeding with a spoon
Cleaning up after meals and play time

Verbalization skills are also encouraged by learning and repeating nursery rhymes, singing songs and by personal interaction between the children and teacher.

We work very hard on social skills by encouraging sharing, playing nicely together and helping friends. Courtesy and good manners are always emphasized.

The concepts of shape, color, the alphabet and numbers are stressed along with the calendar and weather.

Our Classrooms are Set Up in Educational Activity Centers, Such as:

Block play
Music and movement
Dramatic play
Table toys
Sand and water table
Library

Interaction in each of these centers teaches the children different skills as they play. Children participate in both guided play and free play activities.

Each classroom teacher will write detailed lesson plans based upon the child's individual goals and routines in the classroom.

Each day you will receive a written report detailing your child's eating, diapering, toilet training or bathroom use attempts and sleeping routines as well as special remarks from your child's educator.

Warwick Learning Centers provides breakfast, lunch, and a snack as part of our meal program.

Parents are responsible for providing a blanket for nap time (we provide a nat mat) and a complete change of clothing.
