What does a Toddler Program look like?
You must be wondering how we plan our program for our Toddlers. We at Pickle Bumps use developmentally appropriate practice. We provide challenges that are not too hard or too easy something toddlers can do with a little help. We use materials, activities and strategies which is researched based, child centered and age appropriate.
Focus area
Physical Development
Toddlers love to move, jump, dance, climbing, running around, We offer our Toddlers many ways to be active either indoors or outdoors.
Focus Area
Social and Emotional Development
We being a Teachers model behaviors like sharing, apologizing so toddlers can learn by example. We encourage our Toddlers with everyday opportunities to try new social skills and to try doing things for themselves. We also encourage our Toddlers by helping them express their feelings in positive, healthy ways.
Focus Area
Cognitive Skills
Cognitive development is your child’s ability to make sense of the world around him/her. It includes memory language, thinking, and reasoning, solve problems by sorting objects, doing puzzles etc.
Focus Area
Language Development
We spend a lot of time talking to our children so that they learn how words should sound and how conversations go back and forth. Ask them simple question what they ate, How are you feeling, how is the weather? We read simple stories and use music and movements that have repetitive patterns.
Activities for toddlers
Tracing by joining the dots
It helps the little ones refine their pre-writing skills and builds the foundation for drawing and writing letters and words. Tracing is beneficial because it helps build Fine motor skills.
Tearing and Pasting
This activity helps children develop many essential skills like hand strength, hand eye coordination, refined movements.
Pegging
Pegging helps children use their pincer grip by using their index finger and thumb. It also helps develop their motor skill to manipulate small objects with concentration and good hand eye coordination. It strengthens their fingers and develops the all-important pincer grip that is essential for writing.
Wet & Dry pouring
Filling, scooping and pouring activities help develop fine motor skills. It help build a child’s concentration, control of body movement. It also helps them to be more confidant and independent. They also learn the concept of left to right and right to left movement, dry and wet items.
Color Sorting
Children can generally sort into colors before they can even identify the name of the colors. Learning to categorize and classify helps memory skills. Sorting different colors is an important cognitive skill that teaches a child to notice similarities and differences and how to categorize.
Tasting Activity
Developing strong senses of smell and taste help children to get familiar with different flavors. They also help children distinguish between flavors to determine what food they enjoy and what food they don’t like. This is important to help establish children’s unique dietary requirements early on.
Toddlers are independent enough to know their minds. They are curious and shows interest in their environment, meeting new people and learning new things. Few approaches we adopt to help our toddlers learn are

We are really pleased with the way classes are happening. I noticed my daughter has become more curious while doing activities, more imaginative, disciplined and confident. I really appreciate the way teachers encourage kids to speak and interact with them and everyone around without being afraid. Best school in KTM undoubtedly
Pickle Bumps holds a very special place in our hearts! Naina was just 15 months when she joined, and the care and love given to her leaves me speechless. So much attention is given to all activities- art and craft, reading, social skills, rhymes, music, dancing - the children pick up so many skills in such a nice gradual way. We've always been informed of any mood changes with Naina, and her habits, the teachers and admin give such personal attention to the children. The school has played a big role in her development and has taught her so much in the warmest atmosphere. She's been jumping every morning waiting to go learn and meet her friends! All the best to Pickle Bumps for nurturing many little ones
