I have been teaching children between 12-24 months for almost 8 years. This is our typical day...Breakfast from 730a-8a, 8a-9a diapers and color review, 9a is story time, 915a-930a art/craft, 930a-10a snack, 10a-1030a diapers and centers, 1030a-11a outside time, 11a-1120a circle time, 1120a hand washing, 1130a-12p lunch, 1215p-230p nap/quite time, 230p-3p snack, 3p-330p diapers/shapes review, 330p-4p outside time. People who say you can not teach one year olds are very very wrong. I have 10 in my class and 6 of the them know red, blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, black, white, purple and pink. They can count to 10 in English and Spanish. They know square, circle, triangle, heart, oval, rectangle and star. We also do Reading, Drawing, Writing. This is a program where you read a book for two days, the third day you just review the book let them ask questions or just show the pictures, the fourth day you have them "draw" something that relates to the book and then the fifth day you ask them to "talk" about their drawing. It's amazing!! Their little minds are sponges and they love to learn as long as you make it fun
