Toddler Progam

(15 months- 23 months)

Our toddler program is exploration and play at its best. Together teachers and children create art, read stories and discover the world around them. Play is our work as children develop social concepts of self and others. Each teacher strives to promote verbal skills and independence on a daily basis as teachers work both one-on-one with children and in small groups.
