  • About
    Toddle is play-based, earth- and kid-friendly, and flexible.

    We believe if children -- who are naturally capable, self-motivated learners -- are in a well-designed, natural environment in the hands of talented and passionate teachers, they will thrive and grow to their unique potential.

    Toddle follows a play-based curriculum that supports the organic process of learning and discovery unfolding in each child. Our teachers are credentialed Early Childhood educators and delight in creating an interesting, ever-changing curriculum. 

    How it Works: Choose up to five days of preschool a week or on demand
    How it's Used: As your primary preschool or in a pinch
  • Pricing Options
    AM Block: $94.44 (8:30am - 12:30pm)
    PM Block:$84.44 (1pm - 5pm)

    Please contact us for rates and programs related to long-term care.

    Children can stay for a maximum of 4 hours per day. This means that an AM block and a PM block cannot be combined to provide a full day of care. We find that children are able to engage and learn for up to four hours. After that time, most children exhibit signs of fatigue, which can make their positive experience over-stimulating and challenging.
  • Daily Schedule
    Toddle families arrive on a staggered schedule and can choose either a morning or afternoon 4-hour session. Our teachers lead a regular morning and afternoon schedule of group activity time, free choice play, outdoor play and meal/cleanup times. Children can expect the same type of activity (i.e. outdoor time) each day when they arrive and depart, giving them the comfort of jumping right in and the opportunity to develop long-term friendships with children in their session.

    8:30 – 9:30 A.M. Free choice time in our learning activity areas
    9:30 – 10:00 A.M. Outdoor Play
    10:00 – 10:30 A.M. Snack and Cleanup
