Toddler Classroom Learning Centers

For the love of inspiring curiosity
Your little one is now big enough to walk and explore everything within reach. Our Toddler Program gives them plenty of room to do so safely as they begin to communicate, learn more skills, and develop their personalities. This is more than daycare! Our Learn as We Grow curriculum helps teachers to guide their classroom explorations with purpose and endless encouragement.

Toddler Classroom

Communication Center

The foundations of language grow with each book, puppet show, and dress-up performance. The Communication Center is where toddlers discover the art of storytelling as they listen carefully, interact with friends, and begin to make marks on paper.

Toddler Classroom

Creation Center

“What happens if I dip this sponge in the paint?” Toddlers have big ideas. We like to give them the space to explore the answer. The Creation Center includes plenty of hands-on materials your child can use to create their own colorful work of art.

Toddler Classroom

Discovery Center

Engage in the process of problem-solving by comparing, arranging, or sorting materials. While investigating the Discovery Center, toddlers learn early math and science concepts through trial and error. Explore patterns and make observations like a scientist.

Toddler Classroom

Imagination Center

If the beat is catchy, you’ll catch your toddler dancing! The Imagination Center gives children a chance to experience music, movement, and pretend play as a form of self-expression. They’ll love to explore and dig into the dress-up bin with their friends.

Toddler Classroom

Invention Center

Let’s build a tower or balance objects. Fine and gross motor skills get a good workout in the Invention Center as curious toddlers assemble and connect various materials to create solutions. Why did it fall over? What happens if I stack this piece? Try it and find out! 

Toddler Classroom

Reflection Center

A calm space to take a break from all the action in the classroom. Toddlers are encouraged to use the Reflection Center to relax their bodies and self-regulate. Invite a friend to join you or grab a favorite book to enjoy alone. These quiet moments make a big difference.

Toddlers Learning Domains

Toddlers Program FAQs

Enrollment in our Toddler program is available year-round, with flexible start dates based on your family’s schedule and classroom availability at your selected school.

Toddlers follow a balanced daily routine that includes hands-on learning activities, outdoor play to support physical development, and time to explore their classroom environment. The day also includes a healthy lunch, a scheduled rest period to recharge, and an afternoon snack followed by small group play and guided learning experiences both indoors and outside.

Our toddler classrooms are designed to encourage interaction through small group play and shared learning experiences. Children build social skills by playing alongside peers, observing others, and practicing communication with teacher guidance, helping them learn cooperation, empathy, and positive ways to express their needs in an early learning environment.

Our teachers support toddlers through warm, reassuring routines that help make drop-off transitions smoother for both children and families. By building trusting relationships and providing consistent care, we help children feel secure and comfortable in their classroom environment while giving parents confidence during the adjustment period.
