WORKER BEES

Program Overview

Your baby is growing up—what an exciting time! At Shiloh Gardens Academy, our childhood development program for toddlers is carefully designed to encourage each child’s growing need for independence and an emerging sense of self, while nurturing intellectual growth, exploration, and socialization in a safe, supportive environment. By the age of 2, your toddler is talking, walking, climbing, jumping, running and bursting with energy. Your child now has a growing vocabulary and acquires new words on a regular basis. They can sort shapes and colors. They may show an interest in potty training. As they grow more independent, toddlers may show signs of defiance as they begin to push boundaries and explore their world. With so many physical, cognitive, and social milestones to achieve in such a short period of time, our preschool curriculum for two-year-olds encourages children to learn through exploration. Our teachers create a supportive, loving environment that fosters autonomy and self-confidence in these newly-independent and increasingly-social students. While toddlers may progress at different rates, the following are some of the common milestones your toddler may reach in this age group
