The toddler years are both terrific and trying! At FirstCry Intellitots Preschool, we believe that early learning goes well beyond childhood. It is not just an opportunity to teach, it is an opportunity to educate children for life. Toddlers are encouraged to participate in pre-nursery activities which focus on the child’s primary areas of development such as:
The use of the smaller muscles of the hand such as fingers allows control over actions such as picking/placing and holding objects. From flipping the pages of a book, doodling lines and circles, to eating with a spoon simple, fun and engaging activities strengthen the hand and finger muscles, developing a range of fine motor skills.
Physical skills involving the use of large muscles of the limbs are essential for body awareness, balance, posture and movement. Through inviting yet challenging activities like dancing to rhymes, hopping and playing physical games, children are given ample opportunity and stimuli to develop their gross motor skills while building strength and stamina.
Big emotions can overwhelm little ones and exercising control over them is an essential life skill that children need gentle guidance to learn. By encouraging expression of needs and interaction with peers, essential skills such as empathizing with others, sharing and caring are nurtured.
The ability to learn, acquire knowledge, imitate, respond to words, identify items and make sense of things, stems from cognitive development. Activities ranging from sorting, matching, identifying patterns and creating make-believe stories lay the foundation for early cognitive development.
