Young Toddlers (18 months +)

Our Young Toddler program is designed for curious explorers who are beginning to assert their independence while still needing comfort and reassurance. Each day includes circle time with songs and stories, indoor and outdoor play to build coordination, and engaging activities that support early language, sensory exploration, and problem-solving. Children enjoy nutritious meals and snacks, a cozy rest time, and individualized attention from caring teachers who guide them through routines with warmth and encouragement. Through play and gentle structure, our young toddlers gain confidence, develop friendships, and build the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
