Little Scholars of Detroit Child Development Center Toddler Classroom

Toddler 1 & 2

Toddler 1: 12-24 months • Toddler 2: 2-2.9 yrs old

Toddler 1

12-24 months

Our Toddler One classroom is designed for children ages 18–24 months who are beginning to explore the world around them with curiosity and excitement. In this nurturing environment, children develop early language, motor, and social skills through hands-on play and guided activities. Teachers support growing independence while introducing routines, music, movement, and sensory experiences that help toddlers build confidence and learn through discovery.

We implement a daily routine that offers predictability and certainty, which is important for young children.
We have set mealtimes, group activities, and time for self-exploration.
Primary caregivers create lesson plans with objectives of social-emotional skills, cognitive, physical, and language development.
This creative environment will set the foundation for future school-readiness attributes.

Toddler 2

2-2.9 yrs old

Our Toddler Two classroom serves children ages 18–30 months and focuses on expanding communication, social interaction, and early learning skills. Through structured play, creative activities, and exploration, toddlers begin to strengthen problem-solving, language development, and cooperative play. Teachers provide a supportive environment that encourages independence, curiosity, and preparation for the next stage of early learning.

We support children’s current level of development and challenge them with appropriate activities that will help the whole child.
Our Toddler 2 curriculum covers all developmental domains, including social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development.
