Toddler Program

15 months - 2 years old

At this age, children are little sponges, picking up every bit of information about the world around them. Most things that your two-year-old learns will be through play and normal social interaction.
‍
‍Always remember that every child develops at their own pace. At The Block Academy, our Toddler teachers use an integrated approach paying attention to your young child’s physical skill development, self-expression, socialization, coping strategies, cognitive learning, as well as his or her emotional adjustment and well-being.
‍
‍Part of our curriculum will cover the following:

Action words to help them communicate (more, go, come, want, up, down, etc.)
Manners (please, thank you)
Names of body parts
Animal sounds and names of animals
Names (their own first and last name, and names of family and friends)
Vehicles (cars, trucks, firetruck, airplane)
Household objects (names of certain food, utensils, furniture, clothing, etc. that they use daily)
Colors and Shapes
Sizes (big, small, tall, short)
Direction words (below, above, next to, on top, underneath, etc.)
Weather (sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, snowy, hot, cold, etc.)

Because of children’s growing desire to be independent, this 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.

Three-Year-Old Program

Our 3-year-old program has been designed to encourage your child to explore their world using all their senses in a creative and exciting way as they continue to grow! Language arts, science, math, and social studies will be integrated into both the Judaic and secular monthly units.

Our curriculum targets communication, inquiry, imagination, and independence. Our three-year-old children are motivated by interesting materials, thought provoking activities, and an exciting variety of projects. As they explore and their understanding takes over, the children begin to connect all their bits of learned information to pose new questions and develop meaningful conclusions.

The children will participate in meaningful and developmentally appropriate class activities and learn to express their opinions and ideas and listen to their classmates, in a group setting. They will learn how to be members of a classroom environment.

Socialization is one of the biggest benefits of a preschool program.

pre-k

Cooperation and collaboration blossom in our Pre-k classrooms, allowing for more sophisticated play and detailed oriented projects. Our teachers encourage creativity, problem solving, and risk taking as they support the children’s work and passions. The curriculum is designed to enhance your child’s self-esteem as they continue their love for learning in our program. Language arts, math, science, social studies, nature, geography, writing, journaling, and imaginative storytelling are just some of the topics our experienced teachers will be teaching and working with your child on, on a daily to weekly basis to get them ready for success in kindergarten.

During this Pre-k year, the teachers emphasize skills that are developmentally appropriate for the year before kindergarten and specific to each child’s needs. The program is designed to nurture and challenge children in all areas of development. Our teachers want to make sure your child has a smooth transition as they move on to kindergarten.
