The Toddler Program
To be a toddler is to be curious, so following their lead, we encourage the child to explore fully. Activities are positioned around the room, each with a particular theme, skill, or subject of value to toddler development. Imaginative play activities and learning materials appeal to the child's sense of wonder and investigation. Outdoor play and daily walks are an important part of the day, as are reading and quiet play. Our teachers provide respect, tenderness, and warmth that allow the children to blossom. There is ample space for physical activity and exploration.
