18 months – 2 ½ years
Around 16-18 months, most children are ready to move up from the Infant House to the Toddler Community. When determining if a child is ready to move up to the Toddler Community, we follow the child and look for signs of readiness rather than focus on their age. Are they a steady walker? What does their nap schedule look like? How are their fine motor skills developing?
In the Toddler Community, basic motor coordination, independence, and language development are fostered and individual personality is respected. Rather than a classroom, it is a nurturing social community where very young children learn to participate in a cooperative group with their peers.
