Toddler Child Care and Early Education for 1-2 year olds
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Toddler care program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our unique early childhood curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through hands-on experiences. Each month focuses on a theme, and each day is filled with fun activities that excite and help toddlers develop in ways that give them the comfort and confidence to grow and develop both cognitively and socially.
Here’s an example.
