At Early Learning Children’s Academy in Fort Washington, we know toddlers are full of energy, curiosity, and big feelings. Our toddler day care program is a built to be a warm, happy place where your little ones feel safe, loved, and ready to explore and experience new things everyday – and we focus on that as a core part of our early childcare development. Every day, we help them build confidence, make friends, and learn new skills in a fun and caring environment.

Younger Toddler Program (12-24 Months)

Young toddlers are just beginning to explore the world around them, learn new things, and push limits. Our teachers gently guide them as they take their first steps toward learning and independence.

• Talking and Listening – We read books, sing songs, and encourage simple words to help toddlers communicate.
• Moving and Playing – Soft play areas and fun toys help little ones strengthen their muscles and coordination.
• Making Friends – We teach toddlers how to share, take turns, and express their feelings in a kind way.
• Daily Routines – Simple schedules with snack time, naps, and play help children feel safe and comfortable.

Older Toddler Program (24-36 Months)

Older toddlers love to explore and ask questions, and push even more limits! This program helps them grow even more independent while preparing for preschool, and learning necessary skills and have valuable social interactions.

• Learning Through Play – We practice colors, shapes, counting, and other early learning basics in fun ways.
• Making Friends – Group activities help toddlers learn teamwork, patience, and kindness.
• Helping Themselves – We encourage toddlers to wash hands, put on shoes, and follow simple directions.
• Creative Expression – Art, music, and pretend play give toddlers a chance to explore their imagination.

Parents are often amazed by how much their toddlers learn in our program—whether it’s new words, a favorite song, or how to make new friends. Our teachers love to help these children gain confidence, creativity, and get smarter every day.

Learning Through Play and Its Benefits

Play is one of the most important ways young children learn, if not the most important way second to structured learning. It helps them develop problem-solving skills, build confidence, and understand the world around them, and even how to interact with others, and learn who they are. Through hands-on activities like stacking blocks, making art, and playing pretend, working/playing with other’s their age, toddlers strengthen their coordination, creativity, and social skills. Play also helps with regulating emotions by teaching children how to express their feelings when interacting with others. At our centers, we fill every day with fun learning experiences, development opportunities all to encourage growth and curiosity.
