We will be doing lots of planting both inside and out so that the children may observe first hand and draw conclusions about: what a plant needs in order to grow; the parts of a plant; and how forces of nature affect plants. If you would like to send blooming flowers for the children to learn to identify or cuttings, bulbs or seeds for them to plant, we would be delighted to utilize them.

Spring is a good time to observe the growth of plants and also of children. The school year is drawing to a close and we have seen many delightful changes in the children over the year. It takes the cooperation of parents and teachers to make these changes happen. I am grateful for the great parents and teachers we have had this year. I am always amazed and pleased(!) that Toddle Towne is able to attract and retain so many excellent and dedicated teachers. In a field where the average “turnover” time is three months, Toddle Towne has many teachers with years (…and years) of service!

BEGINNERS will be sorting and matching colors and shapes. They will start with just a few (red, blue, yellow) (circles and squares) adding others (purple, green, orange) (triangles and rectangles) as they become more proficient. Children will work on counting, Expectations for younger children are their age plus one. At one year of age, we work on counting to two at two they will work on counting to three. We will also work on body parts and recognizing their name.

PRESCHOOL children will work on number concepts as well as numbers. Experiences will focus on activities which enable the children to understand and use numbers in a practical way. They will also review body parts, shapes, and grouping activities. Children will take advantage of the good weather to develop physical skills like skipping rope and using balls.
