Program Details
To help children develop into self-confident, caring individuals, our programs are play oriented.  We believe “play is a child’s work” and that through active, focused play, children acquire the foundations for reading, writing and logical thinking.  Learning through play is the preparation children need before they can understand how to use abstract symbols such as letters and numbers.  

Toddlers are provided the opportunity to gain a sense of mastery over their environment through exploration and play.  Creativity and freedom of choice are encouraged as toddlers assert their independence.

Program Benefits
Creative Arts
Activities are designed to introduce toddlers to cause and effect, self-expression through art and music, and taking on pretend roles.  Children are able to explore art materials and experience music, dance, and drama to enrich the classroom. Our experienced teachers reinforce important developmental objectives through these creative, fun experiences.

Language Group
Introduces toddlers to books and language that nourishes early literacy development. Toddlers focus on first words and phrases, vocabulary development, following simple directions, and identifying and naming familiar items.  These activities are done in large and small groups as well as in one-on-one interactions throughout the day.

Interest Centers
Offer children an environment that is interesting to explore, safe, and filled with caring teachers who respond to their emotional and intellectual needs. Our program offers children a variety of fun, stimulating activities, such as matching and sorting, exploring colors, counting, and categorizing objects.

Movement and Outdoor Experiences
Allow the naturally curious toddler to explore the world around them. We have designed our classrooms and equipment to support safe exploration so your child has room to discover, build motor skills, and improve coordination. Activities focus on experimenting with space to develop balance, hand/eye coordination, participation in creative movements to music, and more.

Social Interaction
Allows toddlers to learn more about themselves and their abilities, they become aware of their social setting. With frequent opportunities for group experiences, they gain an awareness of others and a sense of group identity. Daily group-time incorporates a number of activities, such as songs, games, stories, and more.
