18 to 24 months, 1 teacher to 4 children
Toddlers: the big feelings room.
Toddlers feel everything at full volume. This room is built for that: soft floors, low shelves, two teachers who stay calm when nobody else is, and a day that runs the same way every time.
The ratio
Four kids per grown up. Never more.
State rules allow more. We keep it at four because a toddler who is upset needs a lap right now, not in five minutes. The room has eight children and two teachers, plus a floater who covers breaks so the count never slips.
Tuition runs $945 to $2,650 a month depending on days, hours and the sibling rate. Toddlers come three or five days. Two days is too stop and start at this age.
1 to 4One teacher, four toddlers, every hour of the day.
Diapers and potty learning
We follow your kid, not the calendar.
Diapers and wipes are included. When your child starts showing interest, we work through it together in small steps. No charts on the wall, no prizes for dry days, no shame for wet ones.
- NoticeThey tell us after, then during. We tell you what we see at pick up.
- PracticeSitting on the small potty at changing times, with a book if they want one.
- Match homeSame words, same routine as you use at home. You pick the words.
- Undies daysTwo spare sets in the cubby and a teacher who has seen it all.
What a day holds
Small blocks of time, lots of repeats.
Morning play
Blocks, sand table, the mirror wall and a lot of carrying things from one place to another. Carrying counts.
Nap on their clock
One nap after lunch for most kids. Younger ones who still need a morning snooze get one in the quiet corner.
Feelings, named
When a toy gets grabbed we say what happened in plain words. Over time they start saying it too.
Come see a real morning.
Tours run Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30am. Twenty minutes, kids welcome, no sales pitch.
