TODDLER PROGRAM
Ages 18 months – 3 years
At Valley View Learning Center, our Toddler Program is built on our commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment where children grow with confidence. As a Gold-Rated Center, we follow high-quality standards that support the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
Toddlers learn best through hands-on exploration, movement, and meaningful interactions. During this important stage of rapid development, our teachers use intentional observation and guided play to support each child’s emerging independence, language skills, and self-confidence.
We use developmentally appropriate practices aligned with early learning standards to ensure that toddlers build foundational skills that prepare them for preschool and beyond.
Our Focus Areas
Motor Development & Coordination
Activities that strengthen fine and gross motor skills, including climbing, stacking, grasping, balancing, and sensory play.
Language & Communication
Daily conversations, songs, story time, and early vocabulary-building activities to support expressive and receptive language development. Children are also introduced to basic foreign language exposure through songs and simple words.
Hands-On Exploration
Sensory bins, art experiences, building materials, and interactive play that encourage curiosity and discovery.
Problem-Solving Skills
Simple puzzles, cause-and-effect toys, sorting, and guided challenges that build early critical-thinking skills.
Creativity & Imagination
Open-ended play, music and movement, and visual arts experiences that allow toddlers to explore and express themselves.
Social-Emotional Development
Teachers model positive behavior, support sharing and turn-taking, and help toddlers identify and manage emotions. We focus on building trust, independence, and healthy peer interactions.
INFANT PROGRAM
Ages 6 weeks – 18 months
At Valley View Learning Center, we understand that the earliest months of life are foundational. As a Gold Rated Center, we are committed to providing highly responsive, relationship-based care that supports your baby’s cognitive, emotional, and physical development from the very beginning.
Our infant classroom is a calm, safe, and nurturing environment designed to promote security, exploration, and healthy attachment. Our trained educators build strong, trusting relationships with each child through consistent caregiving, individualized routines, and meaningful one-on-one interactions.
We partner closely with families to follow each infant’s feeding, sleeping, and developmental schedule—ensuring continuity between home and school.
Intentional Early Learning Experiences
Throughout the day, our teachers engage infants in developmentally appropriate activities that support whole-child growth:
One-on-One Nurturing Care
Responsive caregiving, eye contact, verbal interaction, and comforting touch to build trust and emotional security.
Movement & Physical Development
Tummy time, guided stretching, grasping activities, and safe floor exploration to strengthen muscles and coordination.
Sensory Exploration
Age-appropriate textures, sounds, colors, and materials that stimulate brain development and curiosity.
Language & Early Literacy
Daily conversations, singing, storytelling, and simple foreign language exposure to build early vocabulary and listening skills.
Music & Rhythm
Songs, soft instruments, and movement activities that support auditory development and early pattern recognition.
Early Cognitive & Pre-Math Skills
Cause-and-effect toys, object permanence games, sorting, and simple pattern exposure that lay the groundwork for problem-solving and early math concepts.
About Our Curriculum & Why We Chose It
At Valley View Learning Center, our curriculum is intentionally selected to ensure every child receives a high-quality, research-based early learning experience. As a Gold Rated Center, we are committed to using trusted tools that support academic growth, social-emotional development, and strong family partnerships.
We do not choose programs based on trends—we choose them based on what works for children.
The Creative Curriculum®
We use The Creative Curriculum® because it is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that supports the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
How We Use It:
-Guides our weekly lesson planning
-Aligns with Ohio Early Learning & Development Standards
-Supports hands-on, play-based learning
-Encourages exploration, inquiry, and problem-solving
-Provides structured studies that build deep understanding
Why We Chose It:
We believe children learn best through purposeful play and meaningful experiences. Creative Curriculum allows our teachers to individualize instruction while maintaining clear academic goals. It provides structure without limiting creativity—something that aligns perfectly with Valley View’s philosophy of nurturing confident, capable learners.
Teaching Strategies GOLD®
Teaching Strategies GOLD® is our assessment and progress-monitoring system that works alongside Creative Curriculum.
How We Use It:
-Daily teacher observations
-Ongoing documentation of developmental milestones
-Tracking growth across cognitive, language, physical, and social-emotional domains
-Data used to guide lesson planning and individualized support
-Shared progress reports during quarterly parent conferences
Why We Chose It:
We believe assessment should inform instruction—not label children. GOLD allows us to see each child’s strengths, areas for growth, and developmental patterns in real time. This ensures we are meeting children exactly where they are and helping them move forward with confidence.
ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire®) via the SPARKLE App
We use the ASQ developmental screening tool, administered through the SPARKLE app, to monitor early developmental milestones.
How We Use It:
-Periodic developmental screenings
-Identifying strengths and potential areas needing support
-Partnering with families early if concerns arise
-Ensuring timely referrals when appropriate
Why We Chose It:
Early identification matters. The ASQ provides a trusted, research-based screening process that allows us to proactively support children’s development. Using the SPARKLE platform helps streamline communication and documentation while keeping families informed.
Procare Parent Communication System
Strong communication between school and home is essential. That’s why we use Procare to keep families connected.
How We Use It:
-Daily updates and classroom notes
-Attendance tracking
-Account management
-Secure parent messaging
-Sharing photos and important reminders
Why We Chose It:
Parents deserve real-time insight into their child’s day. Procare allows us to maintain transparent, consistent communication while ensuring efficiency and security. It strengthens the partnership between families and our teaching team.
Our Commitment
Every tool we use—Creative Curriculum, Teaching Strategies GOLD, ASQ via SPARKLE, and Procare—works together to create a comprehensive, intentional, and accountable learning environment.
At Valley View Learning Center, we believe in:
✔ Purposeful planning
