“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning” Mr. Rogers

Our Toddler Program provides a stimulating child care environment to help your child develop self-awareness, independence, language and communication skills. Grounded in the Brazelton Touchpoints Approach, the program allows us to respond to your child’s individual stages of development while helping you interpret and respond to his or her unique behaviors and strengths.

Our four toddler classrooms are designed to allow plenty of opportunity for exploration, and our low teacher-child ratios (3 teachers to 9 toddlers) facilitate lots of individualized attention. Bright, expansive rooms encourage active and creative play, climbing lofts build strong bodies and adventurous minds, child-sized toilets facilitate potty training. Age-appropriate games, books, art supplies, sensory tables and manipulative toys enhance motor skills and intellectual curiosity. Twice daily children enjoy outdoors play on our playground sized just for toddlers, in our summer spray pool and on our open field. When bad weather forces us indoors, children play in our full-sized auditorium and gymnasium equipped with scooters, balls and tumbling equipment (keeping your child’s health and well-being in mind, we sanitize toys and equipment each day).
