Our toddler curriculum is of children from 18 to 24 months. Full of creativity the program is designed to offer an outlet for all that energy-packed into the life of a toddler. Group time, art, sensory, and outdoor play provide the stimulation necessary to develop healthy and happy children. Exploring books, being ready to listening stories and listening songs and rhymes set toddlers on the path for literacy. Toddlers are provided with an environment where they feel safe and secure and can thrive. We stimulate their curiosity by introducing new skills and concepts, building a strong foundation for their next stages of development.
