TODDLER PROGRAM
Rhymes & Reasons® believes that all children have the right to grow and learn in a warm, safe and loving environment. In our Toddler program your child will have the opportunity to increase his or her independence while exploring his or her surroundings.
Toddler Growth and Development
A remarkable milestone is achieved as a child enters this stage of development. The ability to move about is reached by children who are able to walk. Other children may reach this milestone by finding other means of mobility if a handicap prevents conventional abilities.
Toddler Teacher Tools
The staff at Rhymes & Reasons® is equipped with the tools and knowledge necessary to help foster your child's growth and development. Here are just a few of the Rhymes & Reasons® procedures that your child's teacher will use throughout the day.
