NEW DISCOVERIES CHILD CARE CENTER
Toddler Enrichment
Toddler Curriculum
1 – 2 – 3 Learn Curriculum is designed to promote the physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language development of children. Every child is a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth. We believe in respecting and responding to each child’s learning preference. Play is a young child’s “work” as they touch, manipulate, and experiment with materials, explore and observe the environment, and interact with adults and one another. Children are also highly encouraged to initiate their own activities and learning.
