Toddlers
Toddler Curriculum
We educate and nurture in a loving and playful setting!
Bible
We want your child to have a long and loving relationship with the Lord and that begins with an introduction to Christian beliefs. We teach the word of God in our nondenominational Bible program, giving your child a foundation in Christian beliefs and values. This is accomplished by daily prayer, Bible stories, songs, and teaching with love. With a focus on God, we believe that your child will learn to become more connected with the Lord and those around them.

Conscious Discipline

“Self regulation is the key to school readiness and more powerful than IQ as a predictor of academic achievement.” – Becky Bailey, PhD

part of implementing the
activities for our students. He Max is the frog ambassador for the toddler curriculum and will be used to engage the student in our activities.
Learning Domains
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT - Toddlers will be immersed in a language-rich environment essential for developing both receptive and expressive language skills. Frog Street Toddler includes high-interest books, stories, songs, poems, and chants that will amuse and delight toddlers. Vocabulary words are introduced and reinforced weekly through activity integration, colorful photo cards, and sign language to support all learning modalities.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT - This domain provides toddlers with fun physical challenges, action songs, and games that will build coordination, balance and muscle strength. Children will develop both gross motor and fine motor skills as they squeeze, tear, roll, catch, hug, hop, twist, run, and much more!
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT - Frog Street Toddler places a special emphasis on social emotional development because learning best evolves through relationships and responsive care giving. Toddlers will build confidence, learn impulse control, and develop social skills.
Music, Movement & Fun
Music plays a significant role in shaping the brain and is critical to language development. Through playful songs, simple games, and rhythm-band instruments, little ones will be engaged through music, movement, and fun!
Parent Communication
We are proud of our toddler classrooms and all of the wonderful developmentally appropriate activities we are doing with the children. Each month, parents will receive a Frog Street Parents as Partners Newsletter with developmental information and things to try at home. This is a great resource for families and gives you an idea of some of the activities we will be working on at school. Our ProCare Parent app gives you information about your child’s day straight to your phone or computer. Teachers can send photos, information about what your child is learning, events, meals, diapering/toileting, and more. This is a great tool to keep lines of communication open with your child’s teacher. Of course our teachers are always available face-to-face with our open-door policy!
