Elmo Room (1-2 year olds)

Children in this room can still have their bottles. The goal is to transition the children to a sippy cup by the time they are 2 years old. This classroom has one teacher for every 4 children. DOT Tot provides diapers and wipes, as well as breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks (as long as the child is here when the meal is provided). Children in this age group have a circle time where teachers go over shapes, colors, counting, read stories, and sing songs. They try to make it interactive so the children want to join in.

​

This is the age group where you begin to see biting issues. No one fully knows why a child bites, but a huge factor in this behavior is that these children do not have verbal skills and can not communicate when they need something or become frustrated. Biting can become a very effective tool for a child to get what they want when they don’t have communication skills. DOT Tot has a Biting Policy and our goal is to work with families to come up with strategies to eliminate this behavior. To see the Biting Policy, please contact us.
