Our Toddler Program

A place for growing curious, happy and confident toddlers

Our space is built for active and inquisitive toddlers with environments made up of well-planned learning centers that allow for physical activity, child choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching. There are reading nooks, sensory tables, great books, pretend play areas, baskets filled with dress-up and exploratory materials, musical instruments, and places to explore.

Learning experiences are planned to promote each toddler’s growing independence, to enhance social skills, and to build the confidence needed to reach their individual potential.

Mini Photo Albums

You Will Need:

Extra photographs, small albums (can be made or purchased)

Directions:

Take photos and put them in small albums that your child can carry around.

This is a great way to use any extra photos you have lying around. The albums are a great distraction for children during commutes and can also become an enriching springboard for discussion. Preschoolers can make their own albums.
