Wobbler Program at Harwell School
(14-23 Months)
At Harwell School, we recognize that your wobbler's months are filled with incredible growth and exciting new abilities. Our Wobbler Program is thoughtfully designed to provide a nurturing, stimulating environment that supports your toddler's blossoming independence and curiosity from 14 to 23 months of age.
The World of a Wobbler: At this stage, your child is beginning to move with more confidence and independence. They are rapidly transitioning from crawling to walking and developing a keen sense of exploration. Their world is now full of new physical challenges and social interactions that shape their growing personality and understanding of the world.
Wobblers are mastering walking, and as they gain confidence, they start to run, climb, and explore their environment more freely. This phase is characterized by the refinement of motor skills, with your child learning to balance, navigate obstacles, and engage in more complex movements.
Your child’s language skills are burgeoning during this period. They may begin to speak their first words, string together simple phrases, and understand basic instructions. Their cognitive development includes understanding the concept of object permanence, recognizing themselves in the mirror, and engaging in pretend play.
Wobblers start to show more interest in playing alongside other children, though they may still prefer to play independently at times. They are learning to express their needs and emotions more clearly, and they begin to understand the basics of social norms, such as taking turns and sharing.
Our curriculum is designed to support your child’s growing physical and cognitive abilities through active play. We create a safe and stimulating environment where your child can explore, climb, and navigate different challenges, promoting the development of motor skills and spatial awareness.
We support language development through a variety of interactive activities, including singing, reading, and guided conversations. Our teachers encourage wobblers to express themselves and respond to their verbal and non-verbal cues, helping to expand their vocabulary and communication skills.
Our program fosters a sense of community and belonging. Through group activities and guided play, we help your child develop social skills, such as empathy, sharing, and cooperative play. We also focus on helping wobblers understand and manage their emotions, creating a supportive environment where they feel safe and valued.
At Harwell School, we understand that wobblers are at a pivotal stage of development, full of energy and curiosity. Our program is designed to nurture their growing independence while providing the structure and support they need to thrive. We focus on helping your child build confidence in their abilities, develop their communication skills, and engage with their peers in meaningful ways. With our personalized care and attention, we ensure that your child’s unique needs are met as they take these important first steps towards becoming confident, capable learners.
