Toddler Childcare & Early Education Programs
From first steps to first friendships, our toddler childcare program attends to your whole child -- body, mind, and spirit.
We respond to your toddler's growing curiosity, energy and enthusiasm with fun learning activities and creative playtime, while introducing structure and a routine. These experiences help make learning fun!
Brain Connect Toddler Curriculum
The perfect compliment to our Brain Connect infant curriculum, our exclusive Brain Connect toddler curriculum continues the brain-based learning continuum in developmental domains like:
- Critical thinking
- Language and literacy
- Movement
- Relationships
- Sensory learning
Our toddler environment is intentionally-designed to facilitate playful experiences. Your child will enjoy activity centers like language, math and science, creative arts, dramatic play, and music and movement.
As your toddler develops, we create structures and routines to meet your little one’s ever-increasing skills.
