Teaching toddlers is like having a full-time job. It takes a lot of patience and determination to be an effective teacher at any level.
In my experiences with toddlers a lot of repetitive examples and hands on demonstration seems to be extremely beneficial. Also rewarding for correct information recall of taught information will help reinforce the curriculum. A lot of the production relies on you the teacher though too. Having the patience to teach things that are routine to you as the teacher is essential to the toddler being able to comprehend the information being taught. Interacting with children of similar ages will also be a good forum of learning among peers. Comprehensive television programming is a good idea as well during down time so that learning is still being cultivated. Good examples of this would be Super Why, Signing Time, other shows geared towards youth learning.
