Summer Classes for the Hyper Toddler

Toddlers love exploring their world, and have endless energy to spend on countless activities. At this age, toddlers, who have began taking their first steps on their own, are looking into how else they can exercise their independence. All toys and activities are new to them, and they will experiment with everything, sometimes using all their five senses.  

At this stage as well, toddlers love being with other kids their age. While putting a group of toddlers together will still end up with them playing on their own but just in the same area, they benefit from being around each other, and you might still see some interaction going on between playmates. If you’re looking into that happening, and you want to direct their energy into something a bit more productive, here are a few classes that might help in ther overall development:
