Toddler Community, 18-30 Months
|
Manhattan Academy provides a beautiful environment for the toddler that is designed to encourage and stimulate individual growth and learning. Children practice setting their own table, washing their hands, dressing themselves, and toileting when it is time.
|
The classroom is designed with toddler-size furniture and shelves filled with wonderful sensorial materials. Our Toddlers are encouraged to share their feelings while learning to respect the rights of others. There is always plenty of singing, painting, and outdoor playtime in this warm, caring community.

| Practical Life: |
Children start building their hand motor skills through exercises such as spooning, wet and dry pouring, cutting, stitching, and sorting. They also learn how to be independent by dressing, sweeping and cleaning their area, and setting their own tables for lunch.
|
Sensorial:
|
Children between the ages of 0-3 learn directly through contact with the environment by means of their senses. The materials used in this period of development are specifically designed to enhance the joy of learning in each child. Sensorial activities include matching by colors, shapes, and sizes. (Pink Tower, Knob less Cylinders, Puzzles etc.)

Language:
|
The child’s vocabulary is always growing through the learning of new words. Grace and courtesy words and phrases are always being taught and used in the classroom environment.

Math:

Children are introduced to numerals and rote counting. Every morning, during circle time, children will count the date on the calendar to practice their counting everyday. When ready, children are introduced to number puzzles, putting numbers and pieces together in order.

Music and Art:
|
Every morning, children get to sing and dance to their favorite songs. During music time, they learn about various instruments and also have the opportunity to play percussion instruments while learning new songs. During art time, children explore their creativity by painting, drawing, coloring, and pasting. Music and Art are definitely some of their most favorite times of the day!
