WHAT WE BELIEVE

Toddlers Thrive on Connection, Curiosity, and Consistency

Our Toddler Program is designed to support growing independence, emotional expression, and whole-body learning.

 

At A Village Childcare, we embrace the natural curiosity of toddlers through hands-on experiences, nurturing routines, and responsive caregiving. We follow each child’s pace while offering the structure and consistency they need to feel secure and confident.

What we Offer

🧠 Milestone Support – We focus on walking, climbing, stacking, scribbling, first words, and pretend play — meeting each toddler where they are.

📚 Language & Listening – Daily read-alouds, songs, and real conversations with adults support vocabulary growth and communication skills.

🎨 Messy Play – Toddlers learn by doing. Sensory bins, art materials, and water play are always part of the fun (and the learning).

💖 Emotional Coaching – We teach toddlers to name feelings, solve problems, and build empathy. No time-outs here — just real guidance.

🕒 Consistent Routines – Predictable meals, naps, and playtime help toddlers feel safe and confident in their growing world.

Caregivers Who Get It

Consistency, Patience, and Years of Experience

Toddlers need to feel safe in order to explore. That’s why our caregiving team remains consistent throughout your child’s journey. Shelly, Nicole, and Olivia know how to support this age group with calm, confidence, and humor.

​

“We get down to their level. We listen. We redirect gently. And we celebrate the moments that seem small, because they’re actually huge.”

Need a calm, supportive place for your busy toddler to grow and thrive?

Social-Emotional Growth

We See the Whole Child,

Not Just the Behavior

Toddlers are still learning how to share, express big emotions, and manage transitions. We support that growth through:

  • Warm, respectful guidance—no time-outs, rewards, or shame

  • Simple, predictable routines that help toddlers feel secure

  • Modeling empathy, conflict resolution, and communication

  • Celebrating wins like taking turns, trying again, and helping a friend

  •  

We don’t expect toddlers to be perfect. We expect them to be human.

We are the Easy Choice

Why Parents Love Our Toddler Program:

  • Small group setting = more attention and less chaos

  • Individualized potty learning support

  • Curriculum that supports real growth, not busywork

  • Continuity of care — no staff turnover or rotating classrooms

  • It’s still a home — not a mini-institution

Sample Toddler Day:

  • Arrival & free play

  • Breakfast & diaper checks

  • Circle time: music, fingerplays, story

  • Indoor or outdoor exploration

  • Art or sensory activity

  • Lunch & rest

  • Afternoon learning centers & outdoor time

What Makes Our Toddler Program Different?

We’re Not a Center. We’re a Village.

Unlike larger group settings, our home-based program offers:

​

  • A consistent, experienced team that knows your child

  • A peaceful environment that allows for deeper connection

  • Individualized attention without the overwhelm of big ratios

  • Responsive guidance instead of one-size-fits-all behavior charts

  • Daily learning that’s meaningful, not just busy work

 

Your toddler will be seen, heard, supported, and celebrated—every single day.
