Toddler Care

Toddler Care

Our toddler classrooms focus on providing learning opportunities in a fun, nurturing environment.

The toddler classrooms are designed with bright colors and filled with age appropriate toys. Throughout the day we adhere to a schedule that includes a balance between learning, play and rest.

We know toddlers are active so we provide many opportunities for them to explore and learn through play! Our toddlers focus on a lot of open-ended activities such as painting, playdough, sensory play and vocabulary building to develop fine motor skills and running and climbing to develop gross motor skills.  We also encourage our toddlers to spend time in our dramatic play area. Dramatic play encourages children to engage with their peers and express themselves, plus they have a great time doing it!

At pick up, you’ll receive a report on your child’s day. We’ll provide details on when they ate, when they rested and when they played! Twice a year, we provide a progress report that details your child’s growth and development over a period of time.

Here’s what some of our parents are saying!

I cannot say enough about the staff at the Learning Garden! As a foster parent, I appreciated their attentiveness and their flexibility. Great communication! They gave our little guy the utmost attention, such a great start!

Liz C.

These women are the most wonderful ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My kids have been coming here for the past 7 1/2 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. They have become family and I recommend this center to everyone I know!

Jennie P.

Definitely recommend! I looked at a lot of other daycares and The Learning Garden is by far the best! My daughter absolutely loves it there! The staff is wonderful and the amount of things my daughter learned was outstanding.
