At Little Sprouts in Menomonie, Wisconsin, we designed our toddler daycare program to nurture your child’s physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development. With a focus on age-appropriate activities and personalized care, we create a safe, welcoming environment where toddlers can grow and succeed.
With a focus on age-appropriate activities and personalized care, we create a safe, welcoming environment where toddlers can grow and succeed. From building motor skills to encouraging early language use, our program prepares children for preschool by helping them reach key milestones with confidence.
By separating younger and older toddlers, we can provide targeted activities that align with each age group’s developmental level. Younger toddlers focus on early motor skills and language development, while older toddlers engage in more complex activities to build social and cognitive skills.
Age-specific groupings help encourage healthy interactions, allowing children to learn from peers at a similar stage. This approach supports better social development and allows us to offer activities that match each child’s growing abilities.
Physical activity is a cornerstone of our program, helping toddlers build strength, coordination, and motor skills. Through a variety of activities, such as art projects, dance, and music time, children improve their fine and gross motor skills while having fun. Creative activities, such as finger painting and musical games, help toddlers refine their hand-eye coordination and rhythm. From jumping and running to climbing and balancing, our program incorporates daily movement activities that support your child’s physical health.
Toddlers are naturally curious, and we harness this curiosity through an innovative curriculum that builds foundational skills in language, math, and problem-solving. We use storytelling, songs, and interactive discussions to develop language and help children expand their vocabulary and practice effective communication. Simple counting games, shape recognition, and color sorting introduce toddlers to basic math concepts in a playful, engaging way.
Our structured program places a strong emphasis on helping toddlers develop their social skills and emotional awareness, setting the stage for healthy interactions and relationships later on in school. We design activities that encourage sharing, taking turns, and playing alongside peers, which are key skills for social development. Toddlers develop emotional regulation through guided activities where they learn to recognize, regulate, and express their feelings.
At Little Sprouts, we work closely with families to support key milestones in your toddler’s development:
Language development is a priority in our program. Daily activities for boosting early learning for toddlers include: Storytelling: Teachers read engaging stories that help toddlers learn new words and understand the rhythm of language. Songs and rhymes: Singing familiar songs and rhymes helps reinforce language patterns and vocabulary. Interactive discussions: We encourage toddlers to participate in simple conversations, helping them practice their speaking and listening skills.
We introduce early math concepts through playful activities that make learning fun. For example, toddlers practice counting objects and identifying numbers during group activities. Playing simple games with blocks and puzzles helps children learn to identify shapes and colors, building their visual-spatial awareness.
Our art activities encourage toddlers to explore different materials and express themselves creatively. Toddlers love the tactile experience of finger painting, which also helps strengthen their fine motor skills. Dance and music sessions allow children to explore rhythm, coordination, and self-expression in a fun, interactive way.
Our sessions provide a fun, interactive space for toddlers to explore sounds, rhythms, and dance. Through playful activities and engaging instruments, little ones build motor skills while expressing their creativity. Each session is a joyful celebration of music and movement, sparking curiosity and confidence in every child.
We know that successful educational toddler daycare involves a strong partnership with parents. At Little Sprouts, we offer guidance on what to bring each day, and we provide many of the essentials to make things easier for families. For example, we help parents prepare for their child’s day with a checklist of essential items, such as diapers, extra clothing, and comfort items such as pacifiers.
To simplify your routine, we also provide necessities such as wipes, milk, and bibs, ensuring that we meet your child’s needs throughout the day.
