More About Our Toddler Child Care
Give your toddler the special child care they need for their age.
Toddlers’ needs are unique, and we understand this. Your child will learn and play alongside other toddlers with teachers who love everything about toddlers. Our toddlers enjoy daily outdoor play, snacks, warm meals, and age-appropriate learning activities with children the same age in our toddler classrooms.
Throughout the year, we have special activities like magicians, bounce houses, themed days (for example; movies and splash/water) and holiday events. So many fun activities to ensure socialization!
Together, we help your toddler achieve important milestones.
We use the popular, research-based Creative Curriculum® to ensure your toddler learns the appropriate academic and social skills for their age. For example, saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, sharing toys, and learning to use the potty are important toddler milestones. When your toddler reaches preschool age, they’ll be automatically enrolled in our preschool at Memories & Milestones Academy.
Your child will spend the day with employees who care and connect.
Our employees form close bonds with toddlers. We hire people who genuinely care about kids and know how to teach age-appropriate lessons. With one teacher for every seven toddlers, your child will enjoy plenty of personal, individualized attention throughout each day.
Our toddler classrooms offer a welcoming, fun, and clean environment for your child.
We’ve designed and built our academy buildings with a focus on kids. It’s bright, colorful, and clean at Memories & Milestones Academy.
We have a rigorous cleaning process and sanitize with hospital-grade products on a regular and scheduled basis. All of our employees are involved in our cleaning and sanitizing process. Additionally, we follow all COVID-related protocols to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Your toddler will enjoy regular, supervised outdoor play to run, jump and have fun!
Who loves to go outside? We do! The fresh air and mother nature are wonderful for toddlers. Weather permitting, we go out every day. We follow guidelines set by our Health Nurse to determine when the weather is too cold or too hot for toddlers on a given day. Your toddler will also enjoy special outside activities throughout the year.
Your whole family will enjoy the behavior benefits of daily structure.
A daily routine allows your toddler and you to make the most of each day. By creating a daily structure, your child learns what they should be doing and when. Daily structure means fewer meltdowns for you and more focused, age-appropriate learning for your toddler.
We work as a team with you in the potty training process.
Learning the ins and outs of potty training is a crucial toddler milestone achievement. We work with you to make sure potty training goes smoothly.
Save time with nutritious and delicious balanced meals and snacks included.
There’s no need to pack meals when you attend Memories & Milestones Academy. We provide a nutritious and delicious breakfast, lunch, and snack every day. Your child is happy and nourished, and you save time and money.
