An interdisciplinary and invigorating daycare program for older Toddlers

Play is Child’s Work! The curriculum for our older toddlers is play-based and open-ended. Children and teachers talk about any and everything children bring to the classroom, whether object or idea. On any given day, they may build a block city, read about construction equipment, make a three-dimensional collage, and study dinosaurs, all while building critical cognitive and “academic” skills.
