At the YMCA, we use Creative Curriculum® in our toddler programs, an award-winning, research-validated curriculum to guide this increasingly independent age group. They spend their day exploring materials in the block area, science center, or art station. Children go outside daily for gross motor play. In addition, toddlers hear plenty of stories and songs that foster their language development. You and your child’s Lead Teacher meet together at least twice a year to discuss your child’s development and the milestones they’ve mastered.
Your child shares each meal with their peers, where they learn to serve themselves, use manners, and make healthy food choices. All meals exceed USDA requirements, as we follow the Healthy Eating Standards put forth by the YMCA of the USA. These standards include a fruit or vegetable at every meal, water or milk as their beverage of choice, 60 minutes of physical activity per day and a limit of 15 minutes of screen time per day. Screen time is limited to educational viewing only.
