Toddler Care
18 months–3 yearsAn active, encouraging program for curious toddlers who are ready to move, communicate, explore, and do more for themselves.
Big discoveries for busy little learners.
Toddlerhood is filled with movement, language, experimentation, and growing independence. Joyful Thoughts gives toddlers a safe environment to explore while introducing routines and experiences that build communication, early concepts, social skills, creativity, and confidence.
Experience Toddler supports hands-on learning through books, art, sensory play, music, movement, games, imaginative play, outdoor experiences, and everyday conversations in English and Spanish.
What your child will experience.
