Learning Through Exploration
(1.5 – 2.5 years)We know children learn best by having a variety of choices in a safe and organized environment. Our highly trained teachers help your child meet the key milestones of this important developmental stage in a daycare environment that provides what they need most—safety, freedom within boundaries, individual attention, enrichment and praise.
At Imaginarium For Kids we are committed to maintaining teacher to student ratio of 1:5, when the maximum number of students in each Toddler group is 15. You will receive a log of your child’s feeding, sleeping, diapering and learning activities every day, so you can be confident we’ve provided a range of activities designed to engage your toddler and encourage fine and gross motor skills, language development and an understanding of caring relationships.
