- Encouraging free exploration and movement
- Facilitating play that supports sensory and cognitive development
- Respecting each infant’s natural rhythms and routines
Toddler (18 Months - 3 years)
Toddlers are naturally curious, energetic, and eager to explore. Our toddler program fosters independence while encouraging language development and social-emotional growth. Through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and structured routines, toddlers gain foundational skills for future learning.
Key Focus Areas:
- Supporting independence (self-feeding, dressing, potty training)
