Our Curriculum

The Toddler House Preschool Curriculum

Discover, Create, Thrive

At Toddler House, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for children ages 1 to 6. Our curriculum is designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, and emotional development through fun and engaging activities. We believe that every child learns differently, and we focus on creating a balanced, child- centered experience that fosters a love of learning from an early age.

Our curriculum is play-based and guided by the following principles:

Exploration & Discovery:
We encourage children to explore the world around them, developing their natural curiosity through hands-on learning experiences.

Social & Emotional Growth:
We help children build strong social skills, empathy, and self-regulation through interactive activities and guided play.

Creative Expression:
From art projects to music and movement, we provide plenty of opportunities for children to express themselves creatively.

Physical Development:
Our curriculum incorporates activities that promote both fine and gross motor skills, helping children build strength, coordination, and agility.
