"The Toddler is a reality of the present yet a glimpse of the future"

The curriculum can include toilet training if the child is ready.
In addition to the Toddler Curriculum, children will also be introduced to French, as well as Music through the Kindermusik Program. Outdoor Education and School Visits also enrich their experience.

Schedule
The daily toddler schedule is intentionally unobtrusive and provides plenty of opportunities for learning, cuddling, napping, or socializing. Children spend their day in a mix of individual and group activities. Each day includes time for games, activities, songs, stories, sound cards, art and music.
Activities such as the sensory table, art easel, ball tracking games, not only build concentration and focus, they’re fun too. Movement is built into the day to enhance large and small motor skills, body awareness and self-control both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting).
