Toddlers
At The Children’s Academy, our Toddler Classrooms are designed to support the crucial developmental stages between infancy and early childhood. As children progress from Toddler 1 to Toddler 2, they experience a carefully structured environment that nurtures their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. Each classroom is tailored to meet the specific needs of toddlers at different ages, ensuring a smooth transition as they advance in their learning journey.
Toddler 1 Classroom (Ages 1 to 18 Months)
- Children enter the Toddler 1 classroom at the age of one and remain until approximately 18 months.
- This classroom serves as a transitional space, moving children from the Infant schedule to the School schedule.
- Lunch is served at 11:15 AM, followed by nap time on mats at 12:30 PM.
- Toddler 1’s eat a combination of parent-provided food and center food. Parents are still responsible for providing formula or breast milk (if used), baby food, diapers, and wipes.
- Toys in the Toddler 1 classroom are disinfected daily.
Daily Activities
- The Toddler 1 curriculum focuses on physical skills and language development.

Toddler 2 Classroom (Ages 18 to 24 Months)
- Children transition to the Toddler 2 classroom around 18 months and stay until approximately 24 months.
