Encouraging Every Step for Toddlers in Finn Hill

Families in Finn Hill know that toddlers are constantly on the move—physically, emotionally, and intellectually. At Lil’ People’s World in Kirkland, we’ve created a toddler development program that keeps pace with those big leaps. Just a short drive from Holmes Point and Juanita Woodlands Park, our Kirkland campus is a favorite among Finn Hill parents.

Our program focuses on engaging toddlers in meaningful activities throughout the day—from sensory exploration and music to guided group time. We encourage independence while helping toddlers learn to express emotions, solve simple problems, and build friendships. Every routine and lesson is intentionally designed to guide them through this important stage.

Pre-School Curriculum

We use a teaching strategy called “Creative Curriculum,” when educating our Pre-Schoolers. Creative Curriculum primarily focuses on:

  • Meeting the child’s basic needs
  • Fostering social-emotional development
  • Developing relationships
  • Supporting cognition and brain development

Creative Curriculum for preschool is a comprehensive, science based, early childhood education curriculum that has demonstrated through studies to have a positive impact on the quality of the child’s classroom conduct, as well as improvements to cognitive and social-emotional development.

Creative Curriculum promotes positive physical, social, and cognitive outcomes for children through a variety of activities including fine motor, large motor, sensory, art, dramatic play, and science activities.

Toddler Curriculum

We use a teaching strategy called, “Creative Curriculum,” when educating our Toddlers. Creative Curriculum primarily focuses on:

  • Meeting the child’s basic needs
  • Fostering social-emotional development
  • Developing relationships
  • Supporting cognition and brain development

The goal of our toddler curriculum is to help children develop both their body and their minds in a safe and healthy place. These early, positive interactions with caring adults can give young children the confidence they need to explore their surroundings and take joy in their day-to-day discoveries.

Examples of their day-to-day activities can be found in the weekly sample schedule included below.

Infant Curriculum

Our daily infant curriculum is broken up into four categories of development:

  • Physical Experience
  • Listening and Talking Experience
  • Creative Experience
  • Learning From the World
01
Physical Experience
To assure our infants reach their appropriate physical development milestones, we employ our Physical Experiences curriculum. Physical Experiences utilizes motor activities that focus on both large and small muscle development.
02
Listening and Talking Experience
Before the age of one, infants are learning to understand the things that we are saying. For this reason, we provide a Listening and Talking Experience, which includes reading books, singing songs, and talking about the surroundings to aid in their communication development.
03
Creative Experience
Creative Experience allows infants to explore the many beauties that arts and crafts expose our minds to. The process of ‘art with infants’ enables our children to explore and experiment with different smells, textures, and artistic tools as a means of facilitating an early understanding of creative thought and design.
04
Learning From the World
Learning from the World introduces the infant to the world around us, allowing us to aid in their sensory development within a free, yet controlled environment. Examples of these activities can be found in the weekly sample schedule included below.
