Toddler Day Care
A safe, nurturing space where toddlers build confidence, communication skills, and independence through purposeful play and caring relationships.
A Place Where Toddlers Can Grow with Confidence
Leaving your toddler in someone else’s care is a big step. You want to know they’re safe, supported, and genuinely cared for, not just watched.
At Celebree School, our toddler day care program focuses on what matters most at this stage: connection, consistency, and growth. Children between 12 and 24 months are learning how to express themselves, navigate big emotions, and explore the world around them. Our educators meet them right there, with patience, warmth, and guidance that feels natural.
Whether you’re searching for toddler child care for a new walker or exploring a toddler care program that supports early communication and independence, this stage is full of meaningful growth.
What Your Toddler Experiences Each Day
Toddlers thrive on routine, but they also need room to explore. Our classrooms balance both.
Throughout the day, children engage in:
- Language-rich interactions that support early communication
- Hands-on play that builds fine and gross motor skills
- Guided social experiences like sharing, turn-taking, and cooperative play
- Sensory activities that encourage curiosity and discovery
- Music, movement, and creative expression
Learning happens through play, but it’s never random. Our educators observe each child and build experiences around their development and interests, supporting growth across all areas.
Key Highlights of Our Toddler Program
Our toddler program sets a standard of excellence for all early childhood education centers focusing on preschool and kindergarten readiness.
Personal Spaces
Each child has his or her own cot and cubby for their personal belongings. Individual spaces around the classroom are dedicated to various aspects of learning and play.
Family-Teacher Partnership
We cultivate a partnership between our parents and educators to provide the best environment for our toddlers. To maintain the schedule they follow at home, parents provide a detailed and updated schedule of their child’s activities.
Progress Reports
Teachers prepare a semi-annual progress report to chart and display each child’s growth and success, allowing for comparison to past quarters to develop an individualized plan for growth.
Daily Reports
Each evening, teachers provide parents with a report of their child’s day. All meal times, diaper changes, nap times, and play times are documented.
A Safe, Predictable Environment You Can Trust
Peace of mind matters just as much as your child’s development. Families often come to us looking for day care for a 12-month-old or day care for an 18-month-old, and what they find is a place where their child is known, supported, and encouraged every day.
Celebree schools follow structured safety practices and secure environments, including:
- Controlled building access and visitor protocols
- Staff trained in CPR, first aid, and safety procedures
- Classrooms built for both exploration and supervision
- Clear routines that help toddlers feel secure and settled
These systems work quietly in the background so your child can focus on what they do best: learning, playing, and growing.
Building Skills That Go Beyond the Classroom
The toddler years are full of big developmental leaps. Our toddler child care program supports:
- Early language and communication
- Social-emotional awareness and self-regulation
- Independence with simple routines like meals and cleanup
- Confidence in new environments and relationships
You may notice changes at home too. More words. More curiosity. A little more “I can do it myself.” That’s not by accident. It’s the result of intentional teaching, supportive relationships, and a consistent daily rhythm.
A Natural Path into Preschool and Beyond
As toddlers grow, they’re ready for new challenges and deeper learning. From our toddler day care program, children move into our preschool program, followed by pre-K:
- Preschool 2
- Preschool 3
- Pre-K programs for ages 4–5
Each stage builds on the last, so your child continues developing skills, confidence, and a love of learning in a familiar, supportive environment.
