depending on your child’s development
Learning through play is the key to building a love for learning in a young toddler! This age group is encouraged to vocalize and explore language through music and story time with American Sign Language as an important reinforcement.
Our curriculum addresses young toddlers’ growth and development by closely following their readiness cues. As your child displays interest and signs of emerging skills, he or she is encouraged to move toward the next challenge. Lesson plans are designed to address each of the developmental areas including: Sensory & Perception, Language & Communication, Personal & Social, Creativity & Arts, Physical, and Cognitive. 
Rainbow Academy teachers are warm and supportive, directing children to play safely and to also learn what is appropriate behavior in social situations - a key area of development for this age group.
Classrooms are center–based learning environments and that channel children’s abundant energy into various activities. They move through these areas as they explore, discover and expand their interests. Examples of some areas are: Dramatic Play Center, Family Center, Transportation Center , Building Center, Reading Center and Computer Center. These learning areas are filled with fun and age-appropriate puzzles, manipulatives, games and toys. |
