Toddlers Program
16 to 33 months
Our toddler program is designed around the understanding that at the age of 16 months, each toddler is now developing new ways to express their need to interact with parents, friends and teachers. Toddlers are encouraged to make independent choices, develop self-help skills and begin to solve problems. Using words is not always easy, so incorporating sign language in the classroom gives each child a voice.
Classroom
The toddler's classroom is set up in a "home-like" environment. It provides a spacious classroom, private kitchen, cubby and coat areas, toddler play land and separate restroom for potty training ease.
Safety and Training
Our "family team", made of highly educated and qualified teachers, is certified in CPR, First Aide, and Diabetes training. Anna's Bananas has a professional nurse visit monthly to inspect the safety of the center's environment and to review and discuss any illness that has been reported in the last month.
Communication
Anna's Bananas knows how important it is to keep parents involved in their child's daily activities, development and milestones. That's why we provide you with the following:
- Daily sheets to record and track the child's day
- Parent-teacher conferences twice a year
- The building of personal relationships with each family
- Encouraging daily/weekly calls or emails from parents to our "family team" to support communication
- Open door facility; we promote parent visits to the center at anytime to observe or participate in their child's day
