Our toddler classroom is designed to meet the needs of children ages 2 - 3 years. Children will begin to explore different learning concepts through both child initiated and teacher directed activities. Our toddler room boasts large windows and natural light, radiant floor heat for comfortable, cozy floor play, and provides access to the bathroom for potty training.
