Toddlers

Children at this age are terrific learners. Two's are highly active and interested in objects and people. They're undergoing rapid development in many areas, and eager for attention to help them learn and understand basic things about how the world works This can be an exciting time for your toddler. He/she will experience huge intellectual, social, and emotional changes that will help him to explore his new world, and make sense of it. Listening to stories, singing songs, playing games and doing art projects help develop language and vocabulary skills, as well as movement and sensory motor skills.

Preschoolers

At this age your child is becoming more independent and you can expect him to dress himself and button clothes, brush his teeth with help, stack 9-10 blocks, draw circles and squares, use scissors, walk up steps by alternating his feet, jump from a step, hop, walk on his toes, pedal a tricycle, play with imaginary friends, have a very large vocabulary and use 3-4 word sentences and his speech should be 3/4 understandable. Other developmental milestones include beginning to ask ‘why' questions, telling stories, remembering nursery rhymes, appreciating special events, and understanding daily routines. At this stage, a three year old begins to play cooperatively with other children in small groups, he/she shares his toys and develop friendships. They are improving coordination, beginning to combine ideas and learning more complex games, all while learning about themselves and each other.
