Our Toddler program is for children ages 15 months to 2 years old.
We follow a 5:1 teacher child ratio.
Every toddler will experience loving,
stable, and nurturing relationships in a safe, supportive
environment that promote their physical, emotional,
social and cognitive development and well being. These
experiences provide the basis for successful learning.
Qualified staff who demonstrate cultural and linguistic
competency are available to effectively interact with children and families.
A variety of activities, strategies, and materials are used to meet the
diverse needs of children and families.
We feel that parent communication is essential to providing quality toddlers care.
Each morning our staff will ask that you inform us of any special needs for the day. At
pick up time, you will receive a complete report of your toddler's day including a
sleeping, eating, disposition, and diapering summary. We also offer an open door
policy which allows for parents to come into the center at any time of the day. Families
are welcome to come in during the day for a visit or just to peek in.
We use the Teaching Strategies GOLD to create lesson plans, child portfolios and
assessment.
You can:
• Use a personalized communications journal to keep in touch with us and stay up-to-
date
on what your child is doing at school. The journal allows you to view and respond to
our
observations of your child while he/she is at school.
• View your child’s electronic portfolio that includes photos, scanned artwork, and
other
electronic samples of his/her interactions at school.
