The Older Toddler day includes art, music, reading, movement, group time, math & language, outdoor play, and sometimes cooking. The children work on sharing, cleaning up and toilet training when an interest is shown. The children also take daily walks around the neighborhood or across the street to Long Hill Reservation. Please, also acknowledge this age group loves exploring and the children will get dirty and possibly stained clothes. Please dress them appropriately for the day’s activities.
