Happy Munchkins Day School

The toddler care program at Happy Munchkins Day School provides continuation in the care of children from infancy and brings them through their development into the preschool prep stage. This program includes the social interaction of the infant room along with the development of sensory skills that coincide with the Montessori Materials used at this stage.

Our loving staff provides the toddlers with the nurturing care that is essential to their proper growth and development. Each day the toddlers are provided with countless opportunities to stimulate their development. We strive to provide activities in the areas of physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative growth. The children spend time each day engaged in quality activities that are specially designed, through the Montessori Method, by our qualified staff. The children participate in art activities each day. The focus of these art activities is on the process of art. The children spend time outdoors each day and are encouraged to participate in many wonderful and fun large motor activities. The toddlers are provided with many walking and riding toys as well as a play structure that provides a safe environment for climbing, balance and improving coordination.

Our indoor activities include materials that provide opportunity for the development of the child’s small motor skills. The children use spoons, scoops, tongs, and their hands for grasping and transferring small objects. The children in the toddler care program participate in these activities with great enthusiasm because they find them very interesting and fun. What they don’t know is that while they are having fun, they are also developing a suppleness in the wrist and a strength in the small muscles of their hand that will help them when they begin writing at a later age. Our trained staff carefully monitors each detail of the curriculum. Each day you will receive a detailed report of your child’s activities for the day.
