Every Toddler’s Transition Deserves Extra Care

Toddlers are discovering the world with wide eyes, busy hands, and growing hearts—and we nurture that journey with expert care, hands-on learning, and close partnership with you, the parent. Whether it’s your first child in preschool or you’re returning for a second child, we know the transition matters.

A Safe Place to Explore & Grow

We take your child’s safety seriously because nothing matters more. From restricted-access entry to security cameras in every room and outdoor area, every part of our center ensures your peace of mind. Our team has CPR training, and we professionally clean and sanitize our spaces daily while air purification and disinfecting foggers run in the background.

A Proven Curriculum That Builds Real-World Skills

At this stage, children are busy discovering the world around them and developing foundational skills through play and guided learning. Our classrooms follow The Creative Curriculum®, a research-based, play-centered approach that helps toddlers develop through hands-on activities. We nurture lifelong learners by focusing on:

Expanding vocabulary with simple phrases and two-word sentences
Social skills like sharing and parallel play
STEAM activities to prepare them for the future
Developing gross motor skills through climbing, jumping, & running
Strengthening fine motor skills by stacking blocks & scribbling
Creative expression & sensory exploration through music, art, & movement
Recognizing familiar objects, animals, and people

Outdoor Learning That Sparks Joy

Our outdoor spaces are an extension of the classroom—complete with shaded seating, tables, and even a chalkboard for outdoor discovery. Toddlers develop motor skills, social confidence, and an early love for movement as they run, play, and learn safely in our fully fenced turfed playgrounds and hands-on gardens.

Healthy Meals, Allergy-Safe & Included

Mealtimes shouldn’t be stressful. Through our CACFP program, we provide organic, allergy-conscious, nut-free meals and tailor them to your child’s needs—all included in tuition. Each bite supports healthy growth, steady energy, and worry-free days for you.

A Partnership With Parents, Every Step of the Way

We know sending your child to care for the first time is emotional. Rest easy knowing we take time to truly get to know your family, guide you through our process, and create a seamless transition. You’ll receive daily updates, photos, and real-time messages through our Procare® app because feeling connected changes everything.
