Safe, Nurturing Environment Promoting Independence and Preschool Readiness

Our caring staff creates an environment where toddlers feel secure, confident, and inspired to learn. Families from Minnetonka, Bloomington, and other nearby communities trust us to provide exceptional care as we help toddlers prepare for preschool and beyond.
Program Structure:
Separate Rooms for Developmental Stages
Age-Appropriate Classrooms
We tailor our program to meet the unique needs of toddlers by grouping them into classrooms based on their developmental stages. Younger toddlers engage in sensory play and safe exploration, while older toddlers participate in more advanced tasks like cooperative play and problem-solving. This intentional approach ensures children grow at their own pace and feel confident as they reach new milestones.
Developmental Benefits of Age-Appropriate Groupings
By grouping toddlers with peers at similar developmental stages, we create an environment that supports individualized learning. Children can achieve key milestones like effective language use, potty training, and social skills in a supportive, engaging atmosphere. This approach fosters confidence, promotes healthy interactions, and allows for age-appropriate challenges that encourage growth.
