NURTURING, safe, and fun

Toddler Classroom ( 2 yr olds)

In the toddler room the state required ratio is eight children to one staff. In our 2 year old room we are licensed for a total of 16 toddlers. In this classroom we are able to provide a fun, safe nurturing environment for all children. In the toddler classroom they begin to provide a structured preschool time for them to grow and learn at their own pace. We follow a yearly preschool curriculum focusing on a shape, color, letter and them for each month. By providing a safe and nurturing classroom the 2 year olds are also able to learn a lot through play. During this age it is helpful to each toddler to also learn about socially acceptable boundaries and manners.

I love being an inspiration to young minds and helping them grow and learn new things every day!
