At Gold Hill Preschool, our toddler program incorporates key STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) principles into everyday activities, fostering a love for exploration and discovery. In our preschool in Fort Mill, we aim to spark curiosity by allowing toddlers to engage in age-appropriate experiments and creative projects that stimulate their natural curiosity. Through hands-on experiences, toddlers engage in problem-solving and innovative thinking while exploring their environment.
Our Toddler Program
The Toddler Program at Gold Hill Preschool is designed to provide children ages 15 months to 2+ years with a proper environment to explore, learn, and grow. This program builds early cognitive, social, and physical skills, laying a strong foundation for future preschool readiness while fostering independence and self-confidence. Our childcare in Fort Mill prioritizes each child's unique developmental journey, ensuring that we celebrate their accomplishments no matter how small.
Highlights of the Toddler Program Include:
• Language Development: Through songs, stories, and simple conversations, toddlers are encouraged to expand their vocabulary, improve listening skills, and develop a love for language. Our engaging activities are designed to make language fun, fostering a lifelong appreciation for words and communication.
• Social Interaction: Group play, guided activities, and one-on-one interactions help toddlers learn to share, take turns, and build positive peer relationships. These interactions promote the development of important social-emotional skills, which help children navigate their emotions and develop empathy, key skills for future relationships.
• Introduction to Early Math Concepts: Fun, hands-on activities introduce toddlers to basic math concepts like sorting, counting, and recognizing shapes, all through play-based learning that keeps them engaged and excited. Introducing early math concepts during playtime helps make these foundational ideas relatable and enjoyable.
• Sensory Exploration: Activities like sand play, water play, and exploring different textures stimulate toddlers' senses, encouraging curiosity and cognitive growth while supporting fine and gross motor skill development. Experiencing varied textures and sensations enhances their cognitive connections and understanding of the world around them.
• Creative Expression: Art projects, music, and movement activities allow toddlers to express themselves, fostering creativity and enhancing coordination. Creative expression not only aids in fine motor skills but also allows children to build confidence in their unique abilities through artistic exploration.
