Toddler Program

Where Curiosity Takes Its First Steps

At ImagiNation Learning Center, our Toddler Program is designed to support your child’s growing independence, mobility, and love of discovery. Between first steps and first words, toddlers are eager to explore, touch, move, and understand the world around them — and we create a safe, joyful space where that learning happens every day.

Our caring educators provide consistent routines and personalized attention to help each child build trust, express themselves, and develop critical early skills.

We Make Your Child’s Health and Safety Our Priority

Introduction to Our Toddler Curriculum

Language and Literacy

First words happen here! We encourage language development by talking with children, naming objects, describing events, reflecting feelings, and helping toddlers find the words to express themselves. In a toddler’s world, a book is more than a story. Pages are turned, books are stacked, sorted and traded, pictures are identified, and a love for reading begins.

Sensory and Science

At this stage, the classroom and playground become your toddler’s laboratory. Simple scientific concepts begin to develop as a toddler manipulates the world around him. Cause and effect may be learned by pushing a button; understanding gravity begins by dropping toys; and object permanency occurs while searching for seashells in the sand table. Rich with a wide variety of natural materials, our curriculum satisfies the toddlers thirst for discovery.

Manipulatives and Math

An array of brightly colored manipulatives becomes available for beginning math concepts. Using blocks, beads, and counters, toddlers practice basic math skills such as counting; sorting and stacking; and identifying shapes and colors. These are the building blocks for preschool skills.

Creations and Colors

This is your child’s first opportunity to use creative tools! Chubby crayons, sidewalk chalk, finger paint, glue, and stubby paintbrushes are all fantastic tools and materials in the creative process. Toddlers begin to learn that they can create! The use of tools enhances fine motor strength and development. The toddler creed is “It’s Mine” and nothing is more theirs than artwork they have made on their own!

Music and Movement

Jumping, running, climbing, clapping and dancing. Have you ever watched a toddler for just a few minutes? As energetic and enthusiastic toddlers, there is a natural penchant for anything in motion. Enhanced with classic songs and fingerplays, our curriculum is designed to satisfy the urge to “Do it again, and again, and again!”

Foundations and Families

We know that toddlers thrive when home and child care experiences connect. As we align routines, encourage play-based learning, and share important milestones, we create consistency that helps children feel secure and supported. Families and teachers work together to celebrate new skills, language, and social growth. Parents’ stories, traditions, and involvement enrich the classroom and reinforce learning. Together, we lay the early foundations that help toddlers explore, grow, and flourish.
