Toddler Class
This class is an introduction to developing both the student’s fine and gross motor skills along with fine tuning, sharing, socialization, cooperation and independence.
The Toddler program affords the very young child the opportunity to interact with his/her peers to develop socialization skills. Other areas that will be developed are self-awareness and sharing.
Fine motor skills will also be enhanced through one-on-one instruction to work with various materials such as paint, clay, crayons, glue, etc.
Gross motor skills will also be developed through music/dance, group activity play in the gym, etc. There will be basic, simple beginning reading techniques honed through weekly projects relating to the alphabet.
