TODDLER

Home /

Welcome to Northshore Christian Academy's Early Learning Toddler program, where little ones are loved, encouraged, and inspired to explore God's world. In our nurturing classrooms, toddlers build confidence, develop independence, and discover the joy of learning through play, movement, music, and meaningful relationships.

Our caring teachers create a safe and engaging environment where children develop language, social, and motor skills while reaching important developmental milestones. Through songs, stories, circle time, hands-on activities, and gentle guidance, toddlers learn to interact with others, express themselves, and grow in confidence. We also partner with families by providing loving support during potty-training when each child is developmentally ready. Most importantly, every day is rooted in God's love as children experience Bible stories, prayer, and the love of Jesus woven naturally throughout their day.

ACADEMIC LIFE

Children will be taught Biblical concepts and stories that will teach them godly character qualities. They will practice applying these qualities in their daily life including opportunities for serving others. Children look to Staff Members as an example of a relationship with God.  This will allow children to develop their own relationship with the Lord through daily prayer and worship.

We immerse our children in language every day to help them develop a rich vocabulary through the reading books and teaching basic sign language to assist with communication. 

Our Toddler classes incorporate math concepts through counting and sorting with various learning objects, such as snacks, toys, and in nature.  

Our themes help children explore the world around them, creating rich experiences and introductions to the world.

Our themes help children explore the world around them, creating rich experiences and introductions to the world beyond their own front door through songs, art projects, sensory bins, and the reading of literature. 

Art experiences are many and varied to encourage children to explore both self-directed and teacher-directed projects. 

Children are encouraged to explore new ways for their bodies to move through indoor activities, such as song and dance and outdoor activities in nature with jumping, hopping and simple games. 

Christmas Concert, Early Learning Mission Project, Walk-a-Thon, Dad & Kids, as well as several class parties throughout the year.
