Toddlers

Because children learn by doing, each toddler's gifts and interests are encouraged in a nurturing environment. In our classrooms, we play a lot. The "work" of play includes storytelling, dramatic play, building with blocks, making art and music, and dancing, all of which enhance language, physical, and emotional development.
