Toddler Care and Development
The toddler years are dynamic and wonderful – and very busy! We provide a safe and engaging environment for toddlers to explore, interact, play, and learn.
Our professional childcare team will get to know and understand your toddler so that we can create fun and educational activities for them. Children have opportunities to explore language, music, art, pretend play, imaginative play, and manipulatives.
We have a toddler center in Richmond and a toddler/preschool center in Rockville equipped for children between the ages of 16 months - 32 months. We’re excited to care for your busy little bee!

Toddler CurriculumMerry Moose Childcare and Preschool provides learning experiences for toddlers that are developmentally appropriate and geared to the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress. Each learning domain will be addressed to give your child opportunities to grow and develop to their full potential. Parent conferences are held twice a year to share formal feedback with families.
Children learn at different rates and in different ways, and we encourage the process versus praise the result. We strike a balance between teacher-led learning activities and child-led activities. Your toddler will be encouraged to participate in activities that stimulate gross motor (large muscle) and fine motor (small muscle) development. Weather permitting, your toddler will go outside each day for free play and some structured activities. |
