Because a child’s first early experiences are so crucial to development this comprehensive curriculum follows all Ohio’s Toddler Guidelines. These guidelines include six developmental domains: physical health, emotional development, social development, motor development, language and communication development, and cognitive development. Each daily topic is divided into activities and experiences that support all areas of development. By involving children in these developmentally appropriate activities, we are able to see and guide each child’s growth and development.

Our teachers hold one of the most important and difficult jobs in society today. You will see a positive and warm interaction between our teachers and our Cuddle Bugs. In this early age it is important for our teachers to nurture and support your child’s growth. Keep in mind, however, that you, the parents are also a vital part of this process. In order to integrate some of the school activities with home activities, we will send home a monthly curriculum guideline. Our curriculum is divided into a year long monthly themes. We highly encourage parents to work on the topics discussed at school with your child at home.
