About Kids' Place in East Longmeadow, MA
At The Kids’ Place, we recognize the importance of play-based learning. Our Creative Curriculum© is nationally recognized, and we make sure to use age and developmentally appropriate materials in our classrooms. We provide children with the opportunity to explore and discover their interests through various activity choices, such as art, math, science, and dramatic play. Through this, children gain a sense of independence by finding, using, and putting away toys themselves. We also use Teaching Strategies Gold©, an observational assessment tool that helps our Educators to teach with intention. This assessment tool allows us to focus on each individual child’s development and learning. At The Kids’ Place, we believe that play is a child’s work. Our goal is to encourage learning through play and provide children with the opportunity to explore and discover. We strive to create a safe and stimulating environment where children can learn and grow.

Toddlers (15 months – 2 years 9 months)
Toddlers love to explore with limitless energy! Daily routines (meal times, diapering, etc.) and experiences that respond to children’s strengths, interests and needs are essential to the development and learning of children birth to age three. While toddlers are learning about themselves, and other people, they are also learning how to communicate. We provide activities and materials that will help them figure out who they are and what they can accomplish. Our toddler classrooms offer opportunities for learning through active, stimulating play, music, movement and developmentally appropriate materials, while also providing quiet play experiences such as reading a book or painting a picture.
