In these tender years, children find joy and learning through play and sensory experiences.
At Little Scholars, we’ve thoughtfully designed a program to guide your little one towards key developmental milestones.
Our approach embraces floor-time play, sensory exploration, singing, and speech pattern modeling, ensuring a nurturing and exciting environment. Our signature Finger Play Program engages and captivates your child starting from just 3 months old, turning every moment into an opportunity for fun and learning.
Toddlers explore their world tactilely, progressing from babbling to meaningful phrases by age two. Their vocabulary reaches around 50 words, forming two to three-word sentences like “More juice” or “Up, up.”
Young children communicate simply through smiles, cries, and gestures. Their emotional signals, such as crying, aren’t manipulative but genuine. Emotional growth thrives with consistent, positive adult interactions.
Children’s physical milestones begin with head control and advance to walking unaided by age two. By then, they might also run, kick, and climb stairs. Encountering common illnesses strengthens their immunity for future health.
Infants bond with others using expressive cues. From mimicking faces to their first smiles, they react to others’ behaviors and emotions. By toddlerhood, they engage in parallel play, playing near peers without direct interaction.
Intellectuals
At this stage, children are bubbling with curiosity. Fascinated by their own identities and the intriguing world that surrounds them, they are on a quest to understand the roles that everyone, including themselves, plays in this fascinating tapestry of life. Equipped with newfound concepts and ideas, they embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Thanks to the guidance of Frog Street, Little Scholars is here to help them navigate through the myriad of emotions, the overwhelming desire to learn, and the irresistible urge to do more.
Children now understand time, opposites, and can match colors and shapes. By age two, they form 2-3 word sentences and use pronouns. By three, sentences expand to 3-5 words, enhancing speech clarity.
Kids experience diverse emotions and start understanding others’ feelings. They may have temper tantrums but grow in emotional intelligence. Their separation anxiety diminishes, coping better with short absences.
Children run stably, climb stairs, and refine skills like throwing and kicking. They might balance on one foot briefly. Your presence boosts their adventurous spirit and confidence.
Children engage in social play, like pretend parties and finger painting. They improve in turn-taking, love storytelling, singing, reading, and show a growing desire for independence in daily tasks.
Specialists
Your adorable little one is transitioning from the stage of sheer fascination with the everyday world to a phase where they strive to hone and apply their newly acquired skills, knowledge, and capabilities.
Here at Little Scholars, we foster your child’s growth by encouraging new ideas through play, role-modeling, and specially curated learning resources that track their development. Leveraging programs like “Happily Ever After”, we are dedicated to addressing every child’s individual learning requirements and developmental needs.
Children now view the world diversely and display creativity. By three, they converse in 2-3 sentence structures, use basic grammar (with occasional errors like “mouses”), recognize names, and grasp prepositions. Their curiosity emerges through ‘wh’ questions.
Three-year-olds blend independence with caution. They explore new settings, engage in peer interaction, and show empathy by comforting upset friends. They express a broader range of emotions, even if unnamed.
Three-year-olds refine motor skills, walking steadily, hopping, and balancing on one foot. They catch balls, pedal tricycles, and draw circles. They show interest in toys with intricate parts and can open twist-on caps.
These children exhibit curiosity, playfulness, and some hesitations. They increasingly play collectively, comfort peers, and practice turn-taking. Role-playing with real-life mimicry toys becomes a favorite, expressing diverse emotions.
Professors
At Little Scholars, we firmly believe in the power of holistic development. Through our meticulously structured STEM program, we encourage children to take charge of their playtime and learning journey. This freedom not only fosters independent thought but also promotes a sense of ownership and responsibility for their growth.
Our uniquely devised system aims at nurturing every child’s distinct developmental domains, crafting an enduring foundation for their lifelong passion for learning. This warm and welcoming environment that we cultivate, allows your precious ones to bloom, to explore, and to unleash their potential in the most delightful way.
In preschool, children dive into imaginative play, recognize colors, and learn basic counting. Their vocabulary grows: 300 words at three, 1,500 by four, and 2,500 by five. As they age, they seek more autonomy. Guiding this within boundaries boosts decision-making skills.
Preschoolers begin grasping their feelings, though managing them remains challenging. Their world mixes fantasy and reality. Dramatic mood swings are common, and interest in pretend violence is typical, often not alarming.
Preschoolers start hopping, climbing, and more. By five, many balance on one foot for 10+ seconds. They sketch basic human figures and shapes, and begin using scissors. Their enthusiasm sometimes exceeds their abilities, causing minor mishaps.
Moving from “parallel play”, preschoolers engage in group play, focusing on imagination. They learn cooperation, sharing, and empathy, while also reflecting societal prejudices. Emotional control and conflict resolution become key in their social evolution.
