Toddler Play : An Exciting Time for Parents & Toddlers
Because of children’s growing desire to be independent, the Toddler Play stage is often called the “terrible twos.” However, this can be an exciting time for parents and toddlers. Toddlers will experience huge thinking, learning, social, and emotional changes that will help them to explore their new world, and make sense of it.
During this stage, toddlers should be able to follow two- or three-step directions, sort objects by shape and color, imitate the actions of adults and playmates, and express a wide range of emotions. This is a time when children can start to learn the beginnings of self-control and how to relate to other people. In this period children can be encouraged to develop their social and mental skills by people to whom they have a positive attachment.

The Class Children to Teacher ratio at Little Red Hen Preschool & Early Years is 15:1 for Toddler Play sections. According to research conducted by USA’s National Bureau of Economic Research, a small class size and low student teacher ratios were one of the most vital elements in early childhood education settings to future academic achievements.
