"While we teach our children about life, our children
teach us what LIFE is all about!"
Each day, a chance to grow.
Our program offers a balance of nurturing, playtime, and learning throughout
the day. In-SightI will develop friendships, confidence and self-esteem.It is a whole new world when babies take to their feet.. They walk, they talk, and they begin to develop relationships
with each other. Your toddler has so many things he or she wants to see and do, and we'll be there to guide your child every
step of the way. Toddlers learn through sensory experiences that enhance
their cognitive, language, motor and social skills. They turn ideas into words and phrases to better express themselves, and
practice the value of sharing and cooperating through group play. Children at this stage start to develop friendships and
gain confidence as they use their words and thoughts to interact with others. It is important for children to express themselves
creatively and, through Meadowbrook Preschool & Children's Center program, we encourage all children to develop their
unique skills and interests. Program Hi-Lights- Daily whole group instruction promotes social skill development

Your Toddler's DayMeadowbrook
Preschool & Children's Center toddler-specific curriculum enables your child to grow in confidence and learn to walk tall
in their new world. Physical DevelopmentToddlers are naturally curious and want to explore the world around them. We have designed our classrooms and equipment
to support safe exploration so your child has room to discover, build motor skills, and improve coordination. Activities focus
on experimenting with space to develop balance, hand/eye coordination, participation in creative movements to music, and more.
Brain DevelopmentToddlers need an environment that is interesting to explore, safe, and filled with caring
teachers who respond to their emotional and intellectual needs. Our program offers children a variety of fun, stimulating
activities, such as matching and sorting, exploring colors, counting, and categorizing objects. First WordsA foundation for reading success begins as early as the first few months of life. Introducing toddlers
to books and language nourishes early literacy development. Toddlers focus on first words and phrases, vocabulary development,
following simple directions, and identifying and naming familiar items. Creative ArtsExploring art materials and
experiencing music, dance, and drama enrich the classroom. Our experienced teachers reinforce important developmental objectives
through these creative, fun experiences. Creative Arts activities are designed to introduce toddlers to cause and effect,
self-expression through art and music, and taking on pretend roles. Making FriendsAs toddlers learn more about
themselves and their abilities, they become aware of their social setting. With frequent opportunities for group experiences,
they gain an awareness of others and a sense of group identity. Daily group-time incorporates a number of activities, such
as songs, games, stories, and more.
