Age: 18 months- 24 months
Duration: 2 Hours
Timings: 10am-12noon or 11am-1pm
Your 18-month old toddler is now walking and using basic words. At this age, children love to play and explore. They begin to show some independence and may play pretend and point at objects they want. They also begin to understand what things in the house are used for, such as a cup or spoon. Your toddler may have temper tantrums around this age, when she/he grows frustrated trying to communicate how she/he feels.
At Horizons, the toddler program aims to achieve overall developmental milestones and help your toddler explore their environment and interact with their peers. They are given exposure to sensory experiences for their holistic development.
We make sure that the aforementioned developmental milestones are achieved and the child moves to his/her next developmental milestone with a smooth transition.
