Our Play-Based Approach
At Early Alpine, toddlers learn through doing. We provide open-ended materials, a steady daily routine, and gentle guidance to help children make sense of their world through play.
​
Children in this age group thrive on repetition, sensory input, and warm interactions. Our toddler classrooms blend child-led exploration with simple teacher-guided moments like songs, group snack, art, and outdoor play. Learning happens through touch, movement, and connection.
.
Choice & Exploration
Children learn through sensory play, blocks, art, dramatic play, and movement. These choices build confidence, creativity, and focus — all while giving toddlers a sense of control in their day.
Guided Learning Moments
We keep group times short and interactive — singing songs, reading simple stories, and exploring early concepts through movement and materials. Teachers guide without overwhelming.
Emotional Growth
We help toddlers feel secure, supported, and seen. With warm guidance and a simple daily rhythm, children begin to express themselves, explore their world, and build early relationships.
