Congratulations parents! You’ve made it to a very important milestone in your child’s life: At 18 months your child will transition from the infant room to the toddler room.
Along with the teachers from both rooms, you will work out a specific transition plan for your toddler that will begin at 17 months and wrap up by 19 months. We understand that every child is different and we will work with you to meet their specific needs.
As with all change, we understand that you are most likely feeling anxious about this change. After all, you’ve spent the last year or more getting to know the infant room and its teachers and you have established a routine. Your toddler is understandably attached, and let’s face it, so are you! It’s totally normal. That said, we strive to model the caring confidence that will reassure your toddler that this transition is a healthy one for all of us.
You and your toddler will need some time to build a new bond with the toddler room teachers. Typically, it takes a child 4-6 weeks to settle into a new routine. Take each day one day at a time and remember to reward the little successes as much as the big ones. Luckily, the older your toddler gets, the more opportunities there will be for interaction with the teachers and other families in your class. The more you participate, the better for you and your toddler!
The toddler room is age-appropriately designed to help your child blossom. And of course, the individualized care you loved in the infant room will continue in the toddler room! Here are a few of the differences you can look forward to:
We will make this a gradual transition. Your toddler will begin spending time in their new room on a date that has been agreed upon between you and the teachers. If your toddler is having trouble going back and forth, we will adjust and figure out a new plan.
