Toddler Care in Washington County

Whole Child Development Through Toddler Learning

Our proprietary curriculum addresses connected areas of toddler development rather than concentrating on a single academic skill. Activities reflect how young children learn through repetition, movement, conversation, creative work, sensory experiences, and guided interaction.

Safari Cub Toddler Care supports these developmental domains:

• Cognitive Development: Toddlers encounter shapes, colors, numbers, puzzles and games, sensory activities, art, and imaginative play.
• Language and Literacy Development: Children practice following simple instructions, expressing themselves verbally, having basic conversations with peers, and exploring books.
• Physical Development: Large-motor activities include tricycle riding, balance beam walks, and obstacle courses. Writing tools and small objects provide fine-motor practice.
• Social and Emotional Development: Educators guide children as they identify emotions, practice turn-taking, participate in cooperative play, and build positive peer interactions.
• Health and Care Development: Children receive guidance in healthy choices, small goals, resilience, self-awareness, confidence, and emotional regulation.

Play-Based Learning With Purposeful Guidance

Our approach draws inspiration from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and other respected educational methodologies without presenting the program as a formal implementation of either model. We combine structured guidance with hands-on, open-ended exploration so toddlers can engage with materials, ideas, movement, and one another.

Stories, music, art, imaginative play, and sensory activities give children varied ways to revisit emerging skills. Our educators introduce an activity, observe each child’s response, and tailor instruction to individual learning styles and potential while keeping Whole Child Development at the center of the curriculum.
