Respect for Children and Childhoods

Storybook Village Preschool's Toddler program is where toddlers are loved, respected, and celebrated. The program welcomes toddlers continuing their group care experience or introducing a child to time away from home. SVP provides individualized care and primary caregiving, fostering positive and trusting relationships. Our highly-qualified teachers are mentored and coached on implementing WestEd's comprehensive program-wide approach to the Teaching Pyramid and the Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC). The toddler environment is a safe place (emotionally and physically) and developmentally appropriate for bridging the gap between infancy and preschool. Our toddlers develop a secure base for exploration and master emerging skills through a relationship-driven learning experience. 

The Toddler & Two's Program has a goal to implement relationship-driven learning and strategies through caregiving routines while being partners in care with each family. We will share ways we plan to help the children understand that their families are important to us, and hopefully, the families will suggest ideas to help their children feel connected to home while in group care. Through time and trust, connections happen for lifelong relationships.
