Our toddler program is licensed to serve 42 toddlers between the ages of 16 months and 32 months.
Toddlers are given the guidance needed to develop social/emotional skills and creative expression as well as sensory stimulation, language development, small and large muscle skills, and increasing cognitive skills.
The toddler groups are developmentally diverse. Staff members recognize and encourage differences while providing opportunities for the toddlers to enhance their developmental progress.
Goals are constantly reassessed in terms of the current needs of each child. The staff works with parents on setting goals for each child based on the child's particular situation
