TODDLER care is for children from 15 months through 2 years nine months old both full and part time.
Toddlers are very active and are ready, willing and able to learn and try new things. Our toddler program includes developmentally appropriate activities, individual play, music and movement, teacher/child learning, indoor/outdoor sensory play, and lots of tender loving care! Painting, reading, singing, outdoor play and gross motor activities are part of our busy day.
Parents supply the center with adequate lunches, diapers, wipes, as well as a complete change of clothes, and a blanket and crib sheet for rest. The center provides nutritious snacks in the morning and afternoon. Snacks include milk or juice.

*All children will be diapered and toileted as needed throughout the day as well as at the scheduled times. Parent and teacher communication is very important, especially with young infants and toddlers. Please let your child’s caregiver know anything you think is “out of the ordinary”, or different on any given day, as it will help us to ensure the highest level of awareness and care for your toddler.
