Toddler 2 Program

About Our Toddler 2 Program

4-Star Parent Aware Rated

In our Toddler 2 Program, children ages 16 months to 33 months continue their journey of independence, discovery, and development. At this stage, toddlers are gaining confidence in their abilities and are eager to try new things—so we create a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Our teachers guide children through everyday routines like potty training, handwashing, and table manners, while encouraging positive behaviors like kindness, cooperation, and self-care. We build on early language and motor skills through engaging stories, songs, and hands-on play.

With a strong focus on balance—between structure and choice, activity and rest—our program helps toddlers grow with confidence, creativity, and joy.

Developmental Focus Areas

Potty Training
& Hygiene

We partner with families to support potty learning routines and help toddlers master independent handwashing. Positive reinforcement and consistency help children build confidence and success in daily self-care routines.

Fine Motor
Skills

Activities like coloring, stacking, and using utensils build coordination and hand strength. These skills support early writing, feeding, and self-help tasks essential for growing independence.

Language & Early Literacy

Through books, singing, and rich conversations, toddlers grow their vocabulary and early love for language. We encourage storytelling, name recognition, and simple questions to boost expressive and receptive skills.

Balance &
Transitions

We guide children through smooth transitions between activities, balancing play with quiet time and rest. Consistent routines help toddlers feel secure and adapt comfortably to changes in their day.
