"Opening Doors To Imagination"

Younger Toddlers

Childcare for Children Ages 15 Months to 2 Years​- Younger Toddlers-1

The emphasis of our young toddler program will be on the initial acquisition of basic self-help skills. The children will participate in open-ended activities where the process is stressed rather than the outcome. Your child will experience dramatic play, singing, games, stories, manipulative, and or projects along with various other activities. The children are encouraged daily in both indoor and outdoor activities with the inclusion of small and large group experiences.

 

Older Toddlers

With a curriculum tailored to their developmental stage, toddlers at Greater Beginnings Learning Center are not just cared for; they are celebrated.
