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 outdoor 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 and prepare for preschool and beyond.

What Parents are Saying

"Our family wants to commend the wonderful environment they create in Toddlers. They encourage creativity, build responsibility, and give positive guidance to all the children. Each of them is filled with stories about my child's day, and I trust the teachers completely. "

Magnetic Pictures

You Will Need:

Inexpensive flat magnets (that can be cut), scissors, glue, a metal cookie sheet. Magnet strips may be purchased at stationery, craft, or hardware stores.

Directions:

Cut out photographs and pictures of people and glue the magnets to the back of them. Explore the items with your child. If you have two of each picture, you can create a matching game. Children can also create their own free-form pictures with the magnets.

Tip:

This is a great activity for commuting. Provide a magnetic board or small cookie sheet. Change the pictures to keep the activity fresh. If you have a collection of refrigerator magnets, you could use those as well. Keep smaller magnets away from children under three.
