  • Children bring their own lunch and sit together to enjoy a social period of eating and companionship. After lunch we cuddle up for a rest period followed by another session of outdoor play and then return home after a splendid day!

Typical Toddler Day

Toddlers are welcomed into their warm home like environment for a day of discovery. As the preschool group, toddlers spend a majority of their day outdoors exploring our natural world. As toddlers require more custodial care they spend more time inside for diaper changes and feeding times.
