Infant & Toddler Program (6 Weeks–2 Years)
At Wicomico Day School, our Infant & Toddler Program offers a warm, loving, and secure environment where our youngest learners can grow, explore, and feel safe. Children ages 6 weeks to 2 years are cared for by trained, experienced teachers who are CPR and First Aid certified and participate in ongoing professional development.
With a low 1:3 staff-to-child ratio, our classrooms allow for personalized care and strong teacher-child connections. Infants and toddlers explore the world through sensory play using sights, sounds, textures, and movement. Age-appropriate toys, music, stories, and fingerplays help build early communication and cognitive skills.
As children approach their first birthday, they transition into our Toddler Rooms, where they continue developing independence through group activities and individual exploration. Toddlers strengthen communication through literacy and music, and develop fine motor skills through simple art and hands-on projects. Above all, our teachers focus on creating a trusting, nurturing environment where both children and families feel confident and supported.
Two & Three-Year-Old Program
Our Two’s and Three’s Program is designed to encourage independence, build confidence, and nurture social and early academic growth. Led by teachers trained in early childhood education, students begin developing foundational skills in early reading, writing, and math through structured play and age-appropriate learning activities.
Two-year-old classrooms maintain a supportive 1:6 staff-to-child ratio and include daily circle time, art projects, music and movement, and both indoor and outdoor gross motor play.
Three-year-old students begin their introduction to the Core Knowledge Curriculum, which supports development across physical, social-emotional, language, and cognitive domains. To enhance learning, students also attend weekly Spanish, Art, Music, and Physical Education classes. Teachers focus on building confidence, independence, curiosity, and early problem-solving skills in a nurturing classroom environment.
