Our toddler program is designed to enhance your child’s total development. Toddlers are placed in one of two groupings: young toddlers (13-24 months) or older toddlers (24-36 months).

The toddler day is filled with age-appropriate activities that encourage discovery of a child's new found capabilities. Movement and manipulation activities promote gross and fine motor skills, so important at this age.

One of the primary goals of the program is to stimulate the rapidly changing intellectual development of a toddler. This is done by constantly listening to and talking with the children. Our staff ensures a safe and enriching environment where each child's social emotional, and language skills may blossom and grow, while still remembering to provide an atmosphere of security and moments of solitude.

An important part of the toddler program is the transition experience. The transition phase of our program moves your child gently from the young toddler to older toddler program or from the older toddler to preschool program. Careful transition is important to ensure a stress free and successful shift of one age appropriate group to the next.
