Welcome Toddlers & Twos

Toddlers are transitioning from the utter dependence of infancy to the more mobile, independent world of preschoolers. They are learning in leaps and bounds how to communicate, move purposefully and assert their individuality.

At Upper Room Kids Academy, our teachers introduce routines and offer positive guidance to help give our toddlers the confidence to practice new skills and embrace new experiences. Weekly, theme-based learning plans meet the diverse needs of every child through researched activities. This consistent-yet-changing, low-ratio atmosphere matches your child’s rapidly emerging interests and abilities, and offers many opportunities for early reading, math, science, construction and imaginative play learning experiences.
