We recognize that toddlers are learning about impulse control, emotional regulation, and social interactions. Consistent routines help them feel safe and secure in their environment, giving them a reliable structure to navigate their day. While routines remain steady, we avoid rigid schedules, allowing flexibility in timing to honor the individual needs of each child. This flexibility acknowledges that toddlers are still learning to manage impulses and adjust to transitions, and we meet them where they are developmentally.

Our curriculum for toddlers is carefully crafted to support their developmental needs and interests, just as we do for all age groups within our program. Throughout the day, toddlers engage in activities that promote their physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Open-ended materials are provided to encourage exploration and problem-solving, while group activities allow children to practice communication and collaboration with their peers.

We also recognize that toddlers are navigating a growing need for independence. Our teachers provide opportunities for self-directed play and exploration, giving toddlers the space to make choices and decisions about their activities. At the same time, we understand that they still need emotional support and guidance, especially when faced with new challenges. Our educators are always present to offer comfort, encouragement, and gentle redirection when needed, helping toddlers feel supported in their journey toward greater independence.

At INSPIRE, we are committed to creating a nurturing environment where toddlers can develop at their own pace, gaining the skills and confidence they need for future growth and success.

Ages: 15 months - 2 years old. Consideration is given to individual child’s level of development, as well as needs of families and program.
