Little Explorers on the Move!

A Day in the Life of a Toddler
Our caring teachers create a balanced daily rhythm tailored to toddlers' needs. Each day includes group activities, story time, outdoor adventures, nutritious meals and snacks, restful naps, and plenty of playtime.
​
We understand that play is where some of the most meaningful learning happens. That’s why our teachers stay nearby, guiding and encouraging toddlers as they explore, discover, and grow in a safe and nurturing environment.
What to Look for in a Child Care Center
While we’re confident TOTally Kids Learning Center is a fantastic choice, we understand every family has unique needs. Finding the right fit is essential, and we’re here to guide you in making the best decision for your child.
​
From safety and curriculum to the care and attention your little one deserves, we’ll help you understand what to prioritize when selecting a center—whether you choose us or another option. Your family’s needs come first!
Toddler curriculum
At TOTally Kids Learning Center, we encourage toddlers to follow their interests and discover new ones as they play and learn. Whether they’re making art, stacking blocks, or flipping through books, we create opportunities for them to explore their passions and develop new skills.
​
Building Brain Power and Strong Bodies
Hands-on activities like sorting, counting, and measuring introduce early science and math concepts, while daily routines help strengthen focus and memory. Our teachers also support toddlers' physical development, guiding them as they learn to walk, roll a ball, and more.
​
Learning About Feelings
Relationships with classmates and teachers take shape at this age. To help toddlers understand and express emotions, we use social-emotional tools like feelings magnets and puppets. These activities teach children to recognize their own feelings and empathize with others.
​
Talking More and More
Toddlers expand their vocabulary one word at a time as they point to objects, express needs, and engage with their surroundings. Early literacy skills develop through scribbling, page-turning, and interactive story time.
​
Expressing Creativity
Creative expression flourishes through mediums like clay, movement, and dance. Whether shaping with their hands or moving to a children’s song, toddlers explore new ways to share their imagination and creativity.
​
We provide a well-rounded approach to help toddlers grow intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally, setting the stage for lifelong learning and discovery.
