1st Year Toddler Classes
For: Children who are one year old by August 31st for the school year beginning each fall quarter.
Overview
First Year Toddlers at Bellevue College (BC) are between 13 and 24 months of age when classes begin in late September. As the class continues through the following spring (May), parents notice many changes in the growth and development of their children during this exciting year.
Your baby used to sit on the floor and play or contentedly gaze around the room while sitting on your lap. Now she's on the GO, never knowing when to STOP! His curiosity and skill level can lead to behaviors both exciting AND exasperating for parents!
Parent and child come to class together. During this 2-hour class, there's a period set aside for Parent Education. Every other week you and half the parents meet with the parent education instructor for discussion and support while the other parents are with the children and their teachers. At first your child may want to sit on your lap, but soon he will discover that the room designed for him by the children's teachers is a much more interesting place to be.
It's fun to watch your child the first time you attend a 1st Year Toddler class together. There are new faces, exciting choices and fun activities in a classroom designed especially for this period of development. Wow! Goop to touch, vehicles to ride, water to pour, toys to manipulate, obstacles to climb. Parents make fast friends with the other parents in class, riding the same roller coaster of emotions--everything from amazement to bewilderment.
Your parent education instructor and children's teachers guide you through this spirited stage of your child's development.
Parents and children learning and growing together...What fun!
Participating in the Bellevue College Parent Education classes is a wonderful way to show your child that learning is fun and something you value so highly you are willing to share the experience with him or her.
