What our parents are saying …
Our waddler care program is designed for children between 1 and 2 years old. Placement may also depend on each child’s development, mobility and readiness for the classroom environment.
Waddlers enjoy a balance of active play, sensory activities, music, movement, stories, simple art and outdoor exploration. Familiar routines for meals, naps and diaper changes help children feel comfortable and secure throughout the day.
Our classroom provides safe opportunities for children to crawl, stand, walk, climb and explore. Age-appropriate toys, movement activities and outdoor play help strengthen balance, coordination and developing motor skills.
Our teachers respond with patience, comfort and reassurance. Consistent routines and caring relationships help children feel safe, while simple words, gestures and redirection help them begin understanding and expressing their emotions.
No. Children do not need to be fully walking or toilet trained to join the waddler program. Our teachers support each child’s individual stage of development and work with families as new skills begin to emerge.
