Curious Critters
A Toddler Classroom
Our Curious Critters program consists of twelve toddlers, ranging from approximately 12 months to approximately 24 months old. Three consistent and nurturing staff members are caring for our toddlers daily.
Program Details
During their time in the Curious Critters classroom, your child will experience a transitional room. They will enter as infants but during their time in the Critters, they will gain more toddler independence. The teachers will begin with short small group activities centered around story time, art, colors/shapes, texture table time, and an outdoor recess every day. Each child in our Curious Critters classroom will eventually be transitioning to one nap a day, enjoying our nutritional menu, and learning to use eating utensils and drink out of sippy cups. Our highly-qualified teachers enjoy enriching your child’s education and watching them grow each day.

Meet our Curious Critters Teachers:
Ms. Samantha: Lead Teacher
Hi! My name is Samantha and I am the lead teacher in the Curious Critters Classroom.
Before teaching here at Big Steps, I was a swim instructor and supervisor at Goldfish Swim School where I developed a passion for young children and how I could help them to achieve their goals. I have been a Teacher's Assistant in this classroom and now am excited to be leading the children towards their own milestones!
