Toddlers

The toddler rooms are designed to provide a healthy, safe, stimulating
environment to the active needs of the toddler age children (15 - 24 months).
Toddlers need the freedom to explore their surroundings, yet follow a predictable,
classroom schedule. Toddlers enjoy time to discover and play in designed center
areas. Children at this age are exploring independence, peer socialization, and
language development.

Toddler rooms have a wide variety age appropriate toys and equipment to
dramatically recreate the world around them. An outside playground area,
designed just for the toddlers, is a fun place to play. On rainy or cold days,
the toddlers enjoy playing in the indoor gym.

The toddler rooms are adjoined by a restroom equipped with child sized sinks
and toilets to aid in teaching self-help skills of handwashing and toilet training.
Other self-help skills encouraged in the toddler rooms are drinking from a cup
with a lid and feeding themselves with eating utensils. The children sleep on
cots during afternoon naptime.
