Cognitive Development

Frog Street Toddler offers activities that support cause-and-effect relationships and problem solving to develop foundational skills for lifelong learning. Each week, you will have a range of activity choices that will give little ones plenty of opportunities to express creativity, solve child-sized problems, and develop curiosity.

Physical Development

The activity choices in this domain provide toddlers with fun physical challenges, action songs, and games that will build coordination, balance, and muscle strength. Children will develop both gross motor and fine motor skills as they squeeze, tear, roll, toss, catch, hug, hop, twist, run, and much more!

Social Emotional Development

Frog Street Toddler places a special emphasis on social emotional development because learning best evolves through relationships and responsive care giving. Toddlers will build confidence, learn impulse control, and develop social skills while caregivers build trusting relationships with children through one-on-one, partner, and small-group interactions.

A fifth domain, Approaches toward Learning, resides in and throughout other domains.

Conscious Discipline

"Self regulation is the key to school readiness and more powerful than IQ as a predictor of academic achievement." Becky Bailey, PhD

Frog Street Toddler includes a comprehensive classroom management and social-emotional component that creates a learning environment where children feel safe and loved. Children learn to reduce stress, engage appropriately with their classmates, and practice social skills, such as using kind words and helpful hands.

Differentiated Instruction

Children are at many different developmental levels during the period of growth from 18-36 months of age. Children also vary in culture, language, motivation, abilities, and interests. But all children can learn effectively regardless of these differences. Frog Street Toddler offers opportunities to meet the needs of all learners by offering "Adaptations" for less mature or developmentally delayed learners and more challenging activities (signified by an upward blue arrow icon) for ready learners.
