The Toddler Room

18 months – 3½ years

The Toddler Program keeps the same nurturing, at-your-own-pace approach as Infant and Pre-Toddler, with more room to move, explore and start building friendships. Children keep a consistent primary caregiver, for a steady relationship as they grow.

The room

Toddler rooms pair real, hands-on materials sized for your child with a sink for handwashing after every diaper change. From here, children start visiting the art studio for process art with our Atelierista.

A child's hand brushes pink paint onto a blue toy car in a pink tray, beside a palette of purple, pink, green, black and blue paint.

How we learn

  • Responsive, observation-led care that still follows your child's own pace.
  • The same primary caregiver over time, for a steady, trusting relationship.
  • At least 1.5 hours outdoors every day in our natural playground — gardens, water tables, sand and bikes.
  • Process art in our dedicated art studio (the Atelier), working with mostly recycled and repurposed materials — never a template.
