What toddlers do all day at Lake Shore Schools, and how teachers plan for it.

The Toddlers room

Toddlers are beginning to master new skills each day. Our toddler program provides an enriching environment for discovery and independence. Teachers plan diverse lessons and activities that revolve around the children's interests and milestones.

Children are introduced to math, science and literacy concepts through pretend play, games and creative arts. Various interest areas in the toddler classroom include gross motor equipment, building blocks, dramatic play and fine motor manipulatives.

These interest areas let children explore and pursue their interests through their new skills and an understanding of the world around them. This is a busy age, and we strive to keep our children continuously engaged and developing their skills in all areas of development.

Infants

Our infant program gives each child individualized care. Care built around one child at a time helps form trusting and caring bonds between that child and our teachers. Those bonds are the base a baby builds on. As your baby grows, our teachers follow their cues and adjust what they offer. Ask us about the infant room.

Toddlers

We recognize and value the importance of new skills and knowledge in toddlers. That is why we give them the best care and the most enriching environment we can. Teachers plan diverse lessons and activities built around the children's interests and milestones. The children in this room are mastering something new most days.

Preschool

Our Preschool program encourages our two-year-olds' curiosity and exploration in learning. They learn through independent play and through group and hands-on experiences. Two-year-olds want to do things themselves, and independent play gives them room to try. Group and hands-on experiences then add other children, shared materials and a teacher close by. Ask us about the preschool room.

Pre-K

Child-directed learning continues in an environment that facilitates learning and exploration. That environment is also preparing children for Kindergarten. Children choose much of what they do, and teachers build on those choices with learning and exploration. As the year goes on, the room adds more of what Kindergarten will ask of them. Ask us how we get children ready.

School-Aged

We continue to nurture the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of children in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Each of those areas gets attention, not just one. Children this age are growing in how they move, how they get along with others, how they handle feelings, and how they think and solve problems. Ask us about the school-aged program.

What this looks like in practice

You notice it at home: your child stacks a tower, names a color, or hands you a toy to share. Those small steps come from daily practice and from a room set up to invite it.
