Our bright and cheerful toddler room provides a fun and exciting environment for your toddler to expand his discovery of the world. Toddlers are curious with lots of energy and they flourish in our Learn-Through-Play environment. Our extraordinary staff is constantly researching and incorporating the latest in child development practices into our innovative year-round curriculum. Your child will develop social and self-help skills as well as participate in many activities to strengthen his language, gross and fine motor skills in preparation for their seamless transition to Ivy League's Pre-School.
For your child to be able to devote her energy to learning and growing, nutritional health and proper rest are important factors. Our toddler friendly balanced lunches and snacks ensure your child is given all the vitamins and nutrients that are vital to his health, development and lifestyle. In addition, quiet activities and rest are always incorporated into the daily schedule.
At The Day Care Center at Ivy League, the curriculum is reviewed by Ivy League School's Directors. This curriculum is appropriate to each developmental stage and is adapted to each child’s emerging interests. Our low child-to-teacher ratio enables us to give special attention to each child. Our teachers are able to guide each child’s individual abilities to enable him to reach each important milestone. Individual assessments help us determine the appropriate plan for each child.
Language Development: Conversations and discussions about their daily explorations, entertaining stories and musical games and songs help build your child's vocabulary, stimulate imagination, and improve language skills.
Discovery Abounds: Toddlers are exposed to many different toys and objects with a variety of shapes, textures, colors, sounds, and weights. We play music and interactive games while encouraging new challenges and activities to promote problem-solving and self confidence.
Playtime to Strengthen Gross Motor Skills: Toddlers need space to crawl, walk, and run to develop strong muscles, good balance, and coordination. They also benefit from safe spaces where they can explore their surroundings without hearing "No" or "Don't touch."
For our toddlers, an optional program at Ivy League Day Camp is offered for free. Your child will enjoy a 2-hour camp program on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon (12:30pm -2:30pm). This 8 week program offers your toddler a 1:1 camper to counselor ratio. It is the perfect program for children who want to see what camp is all about. Campers as young as 18 months get the opportunity to swim in our Froggy pool and experience our sports, playgrounds and art activities. To view our camp application form, please click here.
