Toddlers
At Learner’s Nest Academy, we are dedicated to offering the children a high level of care and support, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and valued.
Hatchlings II
1 – 2 years old
We optimize their growth and development, and provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating atmosphere that is essential to support their physical, cognitive, and emotional growth, transitioning from being infants to becoming more independent and mobile individuals. A toddler is a young child who is typically between the ages of 1 to 3 years old. Caregivers, including parents and childcare providers, play a significant role in fostering toddlers’ development by offering opportunities for exploration, learning, and social interaction.

During early childhood, children develop important social and emotional skills that form the foundation for their future relationships and overall well-being. By prioritizing social and emotional growth in childcare settings, we create a nurturing environment that helps children build strong foundations for healthy relationships, emotional well-being, and positive social interactions throughout their lives.
This supports children’s overall health, motor skills, and physical well-being. During early childhood, children experience rapid physical growth, and childcare providers play a vital role in providing opportunities for children to engage in various physical activities that promote their physical development.
By providing a nurturing and stimulating environment with a focus on play-based learning, language-rich experiences, and activities that challenge children’s thinking, our staff worked hard to enhance brain and cognitive development in young children. These early experiences lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and support children’s cognitive growth and academic success in the years to come.
Creating a language-rich and supportive environment and incorporating language and literacy activities into daily routines can foster strong communication, language, and literacy skills in young children. These skills are essential for their overall development, academic success, and future abilities to express themselves, understand others, and engage with the world around them.
Building strong social and emotional skills during early childhood not only contributes to the child’s overall development but also lays the groundwork for positive behavior, self-regulation, and successful interactions with others in the years to come. We set clear and age-appropriate expectations for behavior, and consistently enforce them, helping children understand boundaries and rules.
