(16 months – 33 months)
As your child grows older, they begin to change. Crayon Box will make sure that change is a positive one as your little one begins their path to independence.
The toddler room is an energetic place for children to work on their developing language, social and motor skills. The staff are required to keep a child to teacher ratio of 7:1. We spend lots of time learning through playful, developmentally appropriate activities. We introduce new skills such as potty training, teeth brushing, hand washing and clean-up practice.
We allow children to explore all areas of development with music, dramatic play, books, science and math manipulatives, and so much more! We encourage toddler’s growing independence by working on basic life skills and meaningful social connections.
