The toddler years are full of activity and learning opportunities as these little ones are already beginning to develop into confident learners. Their relationships and experiences during the early years of life have a significant impact on their overall growth and development.
Teachers on the St. Mark’s Campus lovingly enhance their ELP students’ budding inquisitiveness, critical thinking, and problem solving skills through a curriculum designed with purposeful language development, hands-on learning experiences, and social opportunities.
Our five-day play-based program provides a safe and nurturing environment to attempt new things.
Our dedicated staff knows toddlers need interactive, responsive, and intentional teaching. We regularly provide training for our teaching staff, learning of new theories, best practices, and formative brain development strategies to ensure we provide a strong foundation in early childhood education.
The Early Learning Program on the St. Mark’s Campus also helps you know what to expect from your child throughout the year by offering a developmentally appropriate assessment (the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, or ASQ), parent education opportunities, and being in regular communication with you about your child’s development.
We don’t stop at the academic year, though! Rising ELP 2 children are welcome to enroll in our Camp CREATE Summer Program available during the nine weeks of summer.
