At Golden Gate Learning Center we love our “Little” Sprouts (12 to-18 months) and our Sprouts (18 to 24 months). Our infant/toddler childcare program is specifically designed with your infant and toddler in mind. Through our age-appropriate play-based curriculum, we facilitate your child’s learning by exploring the world around us.
During this stage of life, your child is beginning to define themselves and engage with objects and people around them.
-
During this stage, we work on:
- Interactions with familiar adults and other children
- Managing emotions
- Recognizing the emotions of others
- Counting objects
- Object characteristics (big/small, up/down)
- Object sorting (big/small, up/down)
- Cause and effect through play
- Learning to walk and run
- Developing kicking and throwing
- Hand-eye coordination
