Mini Heroes Teaches Toddlers Powerful Life Skills While Creating Stronger Bonds with Their Parents Does Your Toddler Need a Supportive, Educational, and Fun Activity?
Young children are curious and active – and they sometimes have difficulty learning to control their bodies and their behavior. They crave structure and thrive in an environment that’s supportive, educational, and fun.
STRUGGLE WITH THESE THINGS?
They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL TODDLER PROGRAM!
We integrate an extensive amount of research and development into a program that is appropriate for their age, while at the same time advancing them beyond their current stage of development. This means that each child will learn and grow at a faster pace than the average toddler. Mini Heroes is one of the best toddler activities available in Port Coquitlam!
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
Physically, toddlers are very active, but don’t have much control of their movements.
We expect them to stumble on most activities and show very little skill in their gross and fine motor skills. The physical goals for our program are to get them to perform basic exercises and activities with control such as stepping and jumping without falling, kicking while bending their knees, and punching while pulling their other hand back.
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
We expect toddlers to lose focus often during class, and quickly become distracted.
Their thinking skills are all across the board, which makes it hard for them to anticipate what’s coming next. Therefore, their attention span will be very limited. The intellectual goals for our program are to get them to focus on the task at hand with minimal distractions, such as listening to the instructor, thinking about what comes next in activities, and following directions.
EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our goal is to help the kids have patience during activities, even when they are challenging.
Their feelings are very strong, but they are still not at the stage to recognize why. Therefore, they will show a wide range of strong emotions that are not quickly controllable. We expect them to throw temper tantrums when they don’t get their way, and run around uncontrollably if they get too excited.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Language development has a big impact on toddlers’ social development.
They will imitate others, but will quickly fight for personal space when they feel too crowded. We expect them to interact on a very basic level, but at the same time be more involved in “parallel” play. The social goals for our program are to help them interact positively by sharing as well as showing respect to the other people in class.
