Toddler Learning

Toddlers have just begun to develop and identify their own ideas and wants. On a daily basis, children in our program benefit through positive classroom experiences and teacher role modeling and are encouraged to become respectful and independent thinkers, learners and problem solvers.

Our experienced, NYS Qualified Teachers engage your child in age appropriate academic learning, including enrichment activities such as art, music and movement.
