At Early Childhood School of Georgetown, we nurture the specific developmental path of each toddler with our two dynamic toddler classrooms. Our group size stays small, with the maximum group size of nine toddlers with two teachers. During the toddler phase of life, there are so many amazing verbal, cognitive, social/emotional and physical areas of growth. At ECSG, we celebrate and guide each toddler’s development through process-orientated art projects, sensory stimulation play, children’s literature and age-appropriate hands-on activities.

Toddler Curriculum

• Weekly thematic units, taught through art, fine motor, gross motor, musical and book-related activities
• Some fun examples of weekly curriculum are hibernation, transportation, bugs, weather, all about me, the five senses and more!
• Our toddler curriculum incorporates early learning skills such as: opposites, colors and early counting
• Our curriculum incorporates a daily/theme related circle time, songs and rhymes, art project, “learning time” written activity and a special theme-based follow up activity that could be anything from a cooking project, to a group game, etc.
• ECSG staff foster  toddlers’ self-help skills such as hand washing, sitting in chairs for meals, practicing putting on and taking off simple clothing and picking up toys
• Assist toddlers in transitioning from “dumping and pouring” to more purposeful play such as block building, puzzle making and building train tracks
• Clean and inviting materials rotated depending on children’s interests
• Curriculum plans are sent home weekly sharing activities, songs and finger plays so that you and you child may enjoy them together!
• Developmentally appropriate artwork, photos and observations are saved in  a child’s portfolio documenting milestones at ECSG until graduation
