Toddlers

"The Toddler craves independance but fears desertion." -Dorothy Corkille Briggs

We recognize and nurture each child’s individual needs, interests and learning styles. Our program is build to accommodate increasing curiosity, physical activity and social behaviors.
Toddlers are provided with ample opportunities to build upon and demonstrate their increasing independence and social skills. Our caring teachers are always close by and are ready to provide the much needed hug and reassurance.
