Our toddler program serves 9 children ages 15 months through 2 years, 9 months. Three teachers educate and care for our Toddlers. In the toddler program, the prepared environment responds to the children’s need for independence. The teachers are a resource and a model for the children to look up to as they develop their social skills and awareness of who they are in relation to others.

Developing language and self help skills, through group play and one on one interaction, build the children's confidence and desire to learn. The toddler teachers focus extensively on supporting language development and self help skills, both of which build confidence.

Through group play and one on one, our toddlers work on developing small and large motor skills, early math concepts, creative art, science, and music. The toddler teachers plan curriculum each week to specifically facilitate all these areas of development and they communicate with parents each week about what is planned for the curriculum.
