Good Samaritan Toddler Program

Our toddler program moves from the individual orientation of the infant program and begins introducing a group schedule. In the toddler room, children eat and sleep as a group at set times in the schedule

The toddler staff offers the children rich art, music, language, and sensory experiences. The Toddler program focuses heavily on the social skills that children need to be successful in a group environment. Toddlers are encouraged to work through conflicts and emotions by using words instead of actions (i.e. biting, hitting). Teachers assist children in gaining the words and skills necessary to have social success. This is no small task.

At Good Samaritan, we strive to provide a stimulating environment that fosters a toddler’s independence. We understand that toddlers are active children with many interests. We encourage participation rather than require it.
