Toddler Care

15 months to 24 months

Transitioning from the infant stage to the toddler stage may sometimes be a little difficult for both parents and children. Children transition to one nap a day, from a crib to a cot, from high chairs to lower tables and chairs, and from bottles to sippies and regular cups. It’s a new opportunity for exploration and adventure. They start taking their first steps towards independence. It’s delightful to see and hear their attempts to talk and enter into conversations.

Our teachers make all these transitions a fun and smooth experience for our toddlers with patience and love. Understanding and coping with frequent mood swings of a toddler is crucial. At The Children’s Center of Lake Forest, we contribute to their enthusiasm through art, music, and language building activities with rhymes and finger plays.

Toddler Classroom Curriculum

Toddlers are independent, active, and enthusiastic explorers who are in love with the world. At this stage their growth and development are very critical since they are busy exploring and unfolding their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development.
