Taking Their Next Strides

Walking. Talking. Becoming. Toddlerhood is an exciting time.

Toddler Childcare Program

Our child care services for toddlers are split into two rooms — the young toddler program serves children aged 1 to 2 years, while the older toddler serves children aged 2 to 3 years. The young toddler room has a maximum teacher-to-child ratio of 1 to 5, while the older toddler room has a max ratio of 1 to 6. Only full-time care is offered for this age group.

Ages 1 - 3

Diaper Program

Infants and toddlers who are not toilet-trained must wear disposable diapers. We do offer wipes and diapers for $1.00 per day. We prefer parents to use this option to avoid a lack in supply. However, it is your choice. Should you choose to provide your own, please leave a pack of diapers and wet wipes to be used only for your child at the Center. A staff member will notify you when the diapers or wet wipes need to be replaced.
