Toddler I Highlights

Colors, letters, numbers, and shapes become vibrant elements of the learning landscape, enriching your child’s curricular experience. Our learning approach combines child-directed and teacher-initiated opportunities, guiding exploration of new themes, skills, routines, and language. Spanish lessons and songs add a multicultural dimension to their educational journey.

Highlights of the Toddler I program include the development of gross and fine motor skills, encouraging independence in daily tasks, and fostering effective communication through sign language. Circle Time sessions, enriched with sign language, provide a platform for interaction and socialization among toddlers, promoting peer learning and cooperation.

Our dedicated teachers, caring and committed, create a safe and loving environment where thematic curriculum focus provides toddlers with myriad opportunities to explore, absorb information, and grow both physically and mentally.

Parents stay connected throughout the day via our secure Brightwheel App, receiving pictures, videos, and messages from teachers. This real-time engagement assures parents that their toddlers are thriving in a loving, caring, and supportive environment.

As part of our commitment to your child’s well-being, two healthy and nutritious meals, along with two snacks, are included in the cost of tuition. Our monthly menu, available online and provided at the beginning of the month, ensures transparency and allows toddlers to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and snacks with their class, all served in a toddler-friendly manner. Whole milk and water complement the mealtime experience.

Choose Mt. Elizabeth Academy for a Toddler I program that goes beyond childcare—an environment where faith, learning, and love converge to shape the foundation for a lifetime of growth and happiness.
