Chatter Bugs
18months – 30months
Chatter Bugs are older toddlers whose physical and cognitive skills are increasing exponentially. Their vocabulary expands with their newfound understanding of routines, schedules, friends, projects and stories. Their independence allows them to try new things and explore all corners of the classroom and playground. The Chatter Bugs love to discover through science experiments, easy cooking and creative art projects.

What do you like about the age group you are working with?
Toddlers are a blast to teach and they are discovering new things about the world around them every day. Their development is so immediate because their minds are like sponges and it’s just an honor to be able to watch & be a part of that.
