Our Mission
The mission of Toddlertime’s educational program is to provide a foundation for success in life. With this goal in mind we have created an educational program that not only prepares children for later success in school but also develops key skills which will serve them throughout life. Beyond creating academic achievement and life skills, we are committed to encouraging each child to develop as a unique individual.
Developmentally appropriate learning outcomes are met through opportunities and support for children to make decisions, take risks, develop compassion, work collaboratively as both a leader and a team player, persevere when challenged, take responsibility for their actions, and act with integrity.
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of Toddlertime is to provide exciting, innovative and active learning experiences in a secure and nurturing environment. Our goal is to explore an idea from multiple perspectives with the help of real-world experts, tools and experiences, collaborate on projects driven by their curiosity, and share their findings with the world. Research tells us that rich curriculum and skill development are best delivered through carefully planned and facilitated play where learning goals are intentionally embedded. Together with families we are partners in developing young minds and character in such a way that will serve as a solid and meaningful foundation for later learning and also for life success.
Research tells us that all learning takes place though social relationship and discourse. We strongly believe that for the child, this discourse is around play – and that play brings great joy to the learning experience. The teacher’s job is to inspire, facilitate, and mediate play opportunities for children so that learning does in fact occur through this medium. It is through provocation, project work, and staged center-based exploration that children will engage in constructive and meaningful play.
