Tots 2
2 1/2 - 3 & Potty Trained
Welcome to our older toddler room, where we focus on nurturing the spiritual, physical, emotional, creative, and cognitive growth of each child. We create a warm and inviting environment that helps transition smoothly while fostering a sense of security. Through engaging social interactions and age-appropriate activities, children explore letters, numbers, colors, and shapes, all while developing their fine motor skills with fun art projects puzzles. Our flexible schedule ensures that every day is filled with positive experiences and a sense of routine.
