Toddler Time

New Toddler Time Program!

A warm and inclusive caregiver + me program for children ages 1.5 to 3.5
Our play-based toddler program supports whole-child development through sensory play, social-emotional learning, and meaningful routines—all led by experienced early childhood educators. From September through mid-January, caregivers stay for the full 90-minute class. In the second half of the year, we gently shift to 60 minutes of caregiver + child time followed by 30 minutes of gradual separation to build confidence and independence.
Daily Activities Include:
• Literacy-focused circle time
• Open-ended play stations (fine motor, cognitive, social-emotional, language, and more)
• Music and movement
• Healthy snack (included)
• Sensory and science explorations
✨ Creating joyful first school experiences for toddlers and their grown-ups!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I stay with my child for the full class?
Yes! This is a caregiver + me program. From September through mid-January, grown-ups attend the full 90-minute class with their child. Starting in mid-January, we gently transition to 60 minutes together followed by 30 minutes of optional, gradual separation—always guided by your child’s readiness.2. What ages can participate?
Children ages 1.5 to 3.5 years old (as of September 1st) are welcome. We offer class sections grouped by age to support peer connection and developmentally appropriate experiences.
3. What does a typical class look like?
Each 90-minute class includes a literacy-focused circle time, themed play stations, music and movement, sensory and science explorations, and a healthy snack (included). Every activity is intentionally designed to promote early learning through joyful, play-based routines.
4. How is this different from daycare or preschool?
This is not a drop-off daycare program. It’s a gentle, supportive bridge between home and future schooling. With consistent routines, adult presence, and rich sensory play, it supports both toddlers and their caregivers in the early school transition process.
5. What if my child has big feelings, separation anxiety, or needs extra support?
That’s exactly why we created this program. Our approach is rooted in emotional safety, connection, and flexibility. We honor every child’s unique readiness and pace. You're never pressured to separate before your child is ready, and we work closely with you throughout the year.
6. Is snack included?
Yes! A small healthy snack is provided during each class to promote independent eating skills and a shared meal experience. We often explore new fruits and vegetables together to support curiosity, connection, and healthy habits.
7. What about siblings?
We understand every family is unique. Please reach out to [email protected] with family-specific questions about siblings in different age ranges or attending with a younger baby sibling.
