MIR's youngest students work and play to progress in their acquisition of physical independence. At 18 months they enter this program ready to move, beginning to communicate, and interested in meeting their own needs. As they grow, they become more coordinated in caring for themselves--dressing, self-feeding and using the restroom. We hear them say, "I can do it by myself!" as they move from one activity to the next.

As their time in Toddlers comes to an end, we notice that our little ones are more aware of their environment and their friends. When they transition from helping themselves to helping others, we know that they are ready for Primary.
