Toddler Program

Toddlers explore language, movement, and independence through hands-on play in a safe, joyfully busy classroom.

Overview

Inside the Toddler Program classroom

This is the age of 'me do it!' — our toddler classrooms are built to say yes. Low shelves, toddler-sized tools, and predictable routines let children practice real independence safely.

Teachers narrate the day in simple language to build vocabulary, and every activity is designed to strengthen fine motor skills, balance, and early social awareness like sharing and turn-taking.

Full-time Spanish exposure begins here, woven naturally into songs, greetings, and everyday classroom language.
