Toddler Program at Kaleidoscope Kids Preschool

At Kaleidoscope Kids Preschool, our Toddler Program is designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and early learning through a structured yet flexible environment. We cater to children ages 18 months to 3 years, focusing on fostering social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Age Group & Developmental Focus
Our program is tailored to support toddlers as they transition from infancy to early childhood, helping them reach important developmental milestones. We recognize that toddlers are naturally curious explorers, and our curriculum encourages hands-on learning, language development, and social interaction.

Curriculum Overview
Our play-based curriculum aligns with the California Early Childhood Education (ECE) Competencies, ensuring that toddlers receive a well-rounded foundation in learning. Each day includes structured activities and free play, fostering development in key areas:

🔹 Language & Communication: Encouraging early speech, vocabulary building, and basic sentence formation through songs, stories, and interactive conversations.

🔹 Social & Emotional Development: Teaching toddlers to express their emotions, share, take turns, and develop a sense of independence while forming positive relationships with peers and caregivers.

🔹 Cognitive Growth: Engaging in simple problem-solving activities, matching, sorting, and early counting to strengthen memory, attention span, and critical thinking.

🔹 Fine & Gross Motor Skills: Activities like grasping crayons, stacking blocks, climbing, jumping, and balancing exercises to develop coordination and muscle strength.

🔹 Sensory Exploration & Creativity: Hands-on experiences with arts and crafts, music, dance, and sensory bins to stimulate curiosity and creative expression.

🔹 Early Independence & Self-Help Skills: Encouraging toddlers to practice skills such as handwashing, cleaning up, and self-feeding to build confidence and autonomy.

✅ Building Social & Emotional Awareness (24-30 months): Learning to interact with others, expressing emotions, and following simple instructions.

✅ Early Problem-Solving & Cognitive Growth (30-36 months): Engaging in pretend play, recognizing numbers, letters, and colors, and developing a stronger understanding of cause and effect.
