The early years of a child are critical for the development of their character and individuality. Our mission is to provide a safe daycare environment which is nurturing and stimulating for children to grow. At Toddlers Town we aim to create a happy atmosphere where learning is fun! Children, parents and staff learn together, and all develop to their maximum capacity.

We believe that children learn most effectively by exploring through the use of their senses and through hands on experiences. Every child has a unique style of learning and perspective towards life. With that in mind, our team is composed of highly qualified instructors who program and plan accordingly to meet the needs of each child. Children are recognized for their achievements through the use of praise and positive reinforcement. They are not compared with their peers however, they are assessed through birth to five learning and developmental milestones.

What is the HighScope Curriculum?

HighScope Infant-Toddler Curriculum uses a carefully designed process of learning through discovery, called active participatory learning. During active learning, caregivers encourage infants and toddlers to discover the world around them by exploring and playing. Learning and development are anchored by long-term, trusting relationships with caregivers, who are close at hand to support children as they play.

How We Teach ?

caregivers support children's natural desire to be active learners. Creating an active learning environment for infants and toddlers means consciously considering all their needs — their social and emotional, physical, cognitive, and sociolinguistic needs.Principles of Active Learning:

• Infants and toddlers learn with their whole body and with all their senses.
• Infants and toddlers learn because they want to.
• Infants and toddlers communicate what they know.
• Infants and toddlers learn within the context of trusting relationships.

What We Teach?

• A comprehensive curriculum model, HighScope addresses all areas of infant-toddler-preschooler development
• Approaches to Learning
• Social& Emotional Development
• Physical Development& Health

As teachers, parents, and educational researchers have discovered, the HighScope Preschool Curriculum not only helps young children excel in language and cognitive learning but also promotes independence, curiosity, decision-making, cooperation, persistence, creativity, and problem solving — the fundamental skills that help determine success in adult life. This is what we mean by The HighScope Difference.
