Are you a new mom, a seasoned veteran, or somewhere in between? Look for groups catering to your specific needs, like "Newborn Mamas" or "Toddler Tamers” or do you prefer outdoor activities, playdates, or discussions about raising children? Groups often focus on specific interests, so find one that aligns with yours. Do you want social interaction, parenting advice, or to build a support network? Choosing a group with similar goals will ensure a fulfilling experience. Look for groups that meet online or in person, depending on your preference. Do you prefer small, intimate gatherings or larger, more dynamic groups? Choose a size that feels comfortable and allows for meaningful connections. Some groups focus on discussions, while others organize regular playdates or workshops. Ultimately, choose a group that feels comfortable and welcoming to you. Don't hesitate to ask for help and support – that's what mom groups are for!

Circle Time

January 10, 2023  /  LOVECHILD Development and Transition Partners, corp

Circle time is an opportunity for children to come together and engage in activities that encourage social interaction, learning, and self-expression. Here are a few tips for implementing circle time in a toddler classroom:

  1. Keep it short: As preschoolers have short attention spans, it's best to keep circle time to about 10-15 minutes.

  2. Make it interactive: Encourage participation by asking open-ended questions and allowing children to share their thoughts and ideas during circle time.

  3. Use songs and finger plays: These are great ways to incorporate movement and music, which can help to keep children engaged during circle time.

  4. Use visual aids: Use pictures, flashcards, or other visual aids to support language development and reinforce new vocabulary.

  5. Incorporate daily routines: Circle time is a good opportunity to review daily routines, such as the calendar and weather, which can help to establish structure and routine in the classroom.

  6. Use it to build community: Use circle time to promote feelings of belonging and connectedness among the children by sharing stories, playing games, or doing other activities that encourage social interaction.

  7. Differentiate: Since toddlers have different development level, try to offer different activities and/or materials to support all children.

It's important to keep in mind that toddlers are still very young, so be prepared for distractions and interruptions during circle time, and adjust the activities and expectations accordingly. And it's also important to remember to be flexible and responsive to their needs and interests.
