Our Toddler Program uses hands-on exploration and social interaction in safe, engaging surroundings to help your one to two year old learn about his or her expanding world. Through the loving guidance of our teachers, toddlers enjoy learning experiences that promote their blossoming independence and social skills, and foster self-confidence.

Your Toddler’s Day

Our Toddler Program is designed around shared learning experiences that stimulate and challenge your child each and every day. The structure of a typical day in the life of your toddler might include:

Group activities like exploring books and singing songs.
Teacher-initiated activities like art or music.
Child-directed activities in our Learning Centers.
A snuggly story time.
Lunch and naptime to nourish and rest your child’s growing mind and body.
Outdoor play at least twice daily to burn off energy and develop motor skills.

We promote all areas of development in the following ways:
