The Monkey Room serves children between 2 and 3 years of age, although this may vary depending on each child’s development. There are three caregivers with a maximum capacity of 12 children. The Monkey Room’s curriculum is designed to encourage stimulation in motor movement, social and emotional development, and creative expression. A basic routine is followed and adapted according to the children’s needs and moods. Lessons are derived from both teacher led and child center activities.
The following are examples of what your toddler will be during their time in the Monkey Room:
