Call to ask

Busy hands, big feelings, new words.

Toddlers are on the move and want to try everything. Play is at the heart of the toddler room: art, music, language and plenty of chances to practice new motor skills.

Language grows every day through naming, asking, singing and waiting for an answer. That back-and-forth is how vocabulary grows.

Words and more words

Songs, stories and conversation that grow vocabulary and early communication.

Hands-on discovery

Art, music and materials to explore: learning by touching and testing.

Getting along

Taking turns, sharing space and naming feelings, with a teacher close by.
