To meet the various needs a toddler requires during this critical growth stage, our program entails a thoughtfully prepared, nurturing environment that fosters self-confidence, self-awareness, independence and satisfying relationships with peers and adults. 
The program offers an opportunity for the child to grow socially, emotionally and cognitively through real and positive interactions and carefully chosen materials.  The sequence of activities in the toddler environment helps give order, consistency and security to each child’s daily life.  Below is a sample schedule of a “typical day.”  Please bear in mind that there is no typical day when it comes to caring for children.  We believe in consistency and also in spontaneity.
