Toddler lessons and activities recognize that young children learn by doing. The classroom environment is divided into several areas, including gross motor movement, fine motor development, and language skills. The exercises of practical life include care of the environment (both indoor and outdoor), care of the self (including using the toilet), and refinement of grace and courtesy. All activities are designed to develop coordination and independence, which in turn, leads to increased self-confidence.

By the end of their Toddler experience, children are ready for the Primary (3-6) environment. They are increasingly interested in learning from other children and about the world around them. The more complex social life and the vast array of materials and lessons to be learned in the Primary class satisfy their continuing need to grow.
