A whole new world opens to children at this stage of their life. They walk, talk, and begin to develop relationships with others. Our program is filled with sensory experiences that emphasize the importance of a toddler’s environment and relationships. Using observation, our teachers understand their needs and provide a high level of interaction while individually nurturing your child. At no time will a toddler be left alone in a room.

Program features include:

  • Daily community experiences promoting social skill development.

  • A safe, challenging, and predictable environment.

  • Time for play and the freedom to explore their environment.

  • Development of children’s confidence, self-esteem, and love of learning.

  • Exploration Stations focused on dramatic play, creative arts, language, and sensory exploration.

  • Diapers are checked every hour to ensure they are clean and changed immediately when noticed.

  • Potty training in toddler classes for those ready to do so.

Older Toddler Potty Training

Collaboration between you, your child, and your child’s teachers makes for more successful potty training. Children learn toileting skills through consistent, positive encouragement from all the adults who care for them.

When your child shows an interest, you and your child’s teachers will discuss how to work together to encourage toilet learning. We’re committed to working with your child consistently, so toilet learning can be accomplished in a developmentally appropriate manner with minimum stress for you and your child.

Every child begins toilet learning at a different age and progresses at a different rate. We’re always available as a resource to answer any questions about your child’s progress. Several complete changes of clothes and two pairs of shoes should be kept at the center during toilet learning.

Until your child shows an interest in toilet learning, we’ll provide diaper changes on a scheduled basis. Diaper checks are every hour, and diapers are changed more frequently when needed.
