"Thank you so very much for providing such a warm and nurturing environment. Sam has done so well. I have seen him thrive this past year and it's all because of Bright Horizons."

• Practical Life Exercises such as pouring, sweeping, buttoning, and setting the table, are opportunities for children to learn to care for themselves and their environment. Daily lessons of grace and courtesy help toddlers learn about sharing and being considerate of others.
• Aids to Independence Activities are provided to help children gain independence and develop the powers of focus and concentration, along with fine and gross motor movement.
• Sensorial Sensory experiences are designed to facilitate hand-eye coordination, small muscle control, and spatial relationships.
• Language During this sensitive period for language, toddlers learn to express themselves with words, to expand their vocabulary, and to develop a love of literature. This is also the perfect time to introduce a sequenced foundation of literacy skills in both small groups and individually.
• Peace Peace lessons give toddlers the skills to work through anger and frustration in a positive way, while encouraging tolerance, cooperation, and respect for others.
• Art Toddlers experiment with many different art mediums and are encouraged to focus on educational gains learned through the process, not the product.
• Outdoor Environment Our outdoor spaces are a natural extension of the classroom where children can dig, rake, climb, and practice large muscle control. Outdoor environments allow freedom to explore and express.
• Foreign Language and Music Children acquire new languages most naturally at this age, as all languages simply contribute to their word bank.
• Music During the toddler phase of brain development, music is another “language” that stimulates mathematical ability, vocabulary acquisition, and speaking skills. From early exposure to music, music appreciation and rhythm sense develop naturally.
