Philosophy
Shining Stars Toddler Program is a learning program where each child's abilities are stressed to promote positive self esteem.
The primary objective is to build socialization skills, encourage self help skills and develop independence while being introduced to the alphabet, colors, numbers and shapes.
The program incorporates language skills, drama, art, music, always encouraging discovery, exploration and fun.
Children ages 18 months to 36 months are in classes with a ratio of 1 adult for every 5 children. Activities are conducted by our professional staff in 15 minute intervals.
A weekly schedule will be posted in the Toddler Room. Please read and stay informed.
