Our Pre-Toddler program is designed to meet the developmental
needs of children in this age group, with assigned primary
caregivers. The program provides activities that enhance each
child's cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical and
creative development. We offer a safe, nurturing environment in
which your child is encouraged to explore his/her world. The
Pre-Toddler years are a time for exploration in the security of
their surroundings.
Each day is filled with opportunities to create, explore, and learn problem solving and personal interaction skills, while developing a positive self-concept through self- and teacher-directed activities. Our caring staff bring consistency and calmness to your child's day through new experiences, while helping him/her put their thoughts and feelings into words with ongoing language exchanges.

Pre-Toddlers use their developing skills to feed
themselves from our varied and nutritious menus, which include
many fresh fruits and vegetables. Dining among peers tends to
encourage little ones to try nutritious new foods. Careful
attention to food allergies is a top priority, and we welcome
(but do not provide) alternative foods as needed.
