Health, Safety, and Daily Connection
We prioritize a safe environment and open communication to ensure you have complete peace of mind.
Safety First
At Malvern Academy, we put safety first to protect our families and staff. Our procedures, cleanliness standards, and classroom layouts are designed to provide the safest possible environment for your active toddler.
Daily Communication
We keep you connected and informed about your child’s day through our communication platform Procare® . You'll receive updates on nap times, meals, and memorable moments as they learn and grow.
Program Structure & Daily Routine
Our Beginner program introduces more routine and structure while maintaining the flexibility toddlers need to thrive.
Structured Learning
The daily schedule includes dedicated periods for activities that build vocabulary and functional mathematical skills, expertly delivered through intentional, play-based learning experiences.
Exploration-Focused Environment
We intentionally stock our classrooms with a ton of books and toys, ensuring the environment supports their natural wonder and curiosity.
Encouraging Independence
Children are encouraged to use simple reasoning to explain everyday occurrences, supporting their burgeoning independence.
Development Goals
Intentional Learning Through Play
Children in our Toddler program are focused on active discovery and building key skills across seven essential developmental domains.
Children build vocabulary through daily conversations and begin to understand and follow simple directions.
Language & Literacy
Children begin to explore number sets, experiment with shapes, sort by colors, and develop simple reasoning skills.
Mathematical Thinking
Children explore animal habitats, use scientific vocabulary, and begin to explore engineering concepts. They use tools to investigate objects and materials.
Scientific Exploration
Toddlers gain independence as they learn to verbalize their wants and needs. They begin learning about taking turns and labeling emotions in themselves and others.
Social-Emotional Learning
Children explore instruments, dance to music, and show a preference for family songs. They engage in multi-sensory art and imaginative pretend play.
Creative Expression
Children focus on using their hands and eyes together to complete fine motor skills tasks and begin to sustain balance during simple movement activities.
Wellness & Motor Skills
The concepts of social studies and diversity are introduced as children explore similarities and differences between themselves and others. They also learn basic Spanish vocabulary for colors, shapes, and greetings.
