About Young Toddler Program
Our young toddler program offers the ideal transitional environment for our infants to thrive in. The young toddler classroom is specifically designed for children who are ready to graduate from the infant program but still need some focus in a few key areas. The young toddler program places heavy focus on large motor and physical development, language and comprehension, and sensory development. The young toddler program is for children who are still in their early stages of walking, have only recently begun uttering some words and are now beginning to understand and comprehend language.
Our skilled team works with this group to continue developing and enhancing these skills, as well as introducing them to the new concepts, frameworks and materials that they will soon begin to learn in the toddler class. Dreamers Child Care provides a diverse international and cultural environment for all of our children, and activities are prepared to provide experiences from a variety of cultures, including those cultures represented by the children in our care. Acceptance of each child and person as a unique individual is part of our focus, and this is taught to all of our children from their earliest years.

About our Young Toddler Team
Our young toddler team is comprised of early child care professionals who’s only priority is seeing your child grow and develop in a safe, nurturing and immersive environment. All of our teachers meet the Minnesota DHS requirements for the position they fulfill, while also continuing to develop through various monthly required trainings and classes. Toddlers are constantly wanting to explore and discover, and we ensure that they always have the proper supervision so that the exploring never stops.
Minimum staffing protocol requires one (1) staff member per seven (7) toddlers, but we know that at seven toddlers the possibilities may be limited. The young toddler classroom typically sees another team member joining their classroom when the number of toddlers increases past four (4), but we always have additional floating aides and assistants throughout the center ready for immediate support. The young toddler team is comprised of teachers, assistants and aides who work together to achieve the developmental goals your child is set to reach. Duties are harmoniously split between the team to ensure a productive, efficient and vibrant environment throughout the day.
Read Our ReviewsAbout My Yound Toddlers Daily Routine
A noticeable difference between the infant program and the young toddler program is the gradual introduction of a set routine. In the young toddler program, the children begin to harmonize their schedules with one another, and the daily routine is built around the classroom as a whole instead of the individual. The young toddlers eat together, nap together and complete the majority of the activities throughout the day together as a class.
Guided free play is an integral part of our young toddlers’ day, so a decent portion of their daily routine is built upon different concepts and themes introduced to them in a guided free play manner. The young toddler daily routine includes components derived from the several aforementioned interest areas, and while the specific material may change season to season and theme to theme, the routine time for each component remains fairly unchanged throughout the year. Specific daily routines and lesson plans for each program are provided to you by your child’s teachers.
Enroll TodayWhat Will My Toddler be doing at Dreamers Toddler Care?
Young toddlers are ready to explore and discover, so we do our best to ensure that there is an endless amount of exploring that they can do. At this stage in their life, your child will begin learning to interact and work with their friends and teachers to help one another and grow. Through varying activities and guided free play, your child will be learning the importance of sharing, the virtue of politeness and an outpouring of love.
While your child’s friends may be at or around the same developmental stage as your child, our teachers set individual goals and milestones for each child depending on where they are today and what they can achieve. Our teachers follow up with parents on a regular basis to ensure that these goals aren’t only met, but exceeded. Frequent assessments are completed from the toddler level through to the last day of preschool, and bi-annual conferences are held to discuss progress at least twice a year.
