Toddlers

About Toddlers...

Our Toddler Program at Woodland Academy is designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and a growing sense of self. In a safe and loving environment, toddlers are encouraged to explore through hands-on, play-based learning that builds language, social skills, and confidence. Teachers provide gentle guidance and strong emotional support as children learn routines, practice self-help skills, build social skills and begin building friendships. Each day includes opportunities for sensory play, nature play, music, movement, art, reading and Bible lessons, giving toddlers a rich foundation for growth. With a low child-to-teacher ratio, our toddlers receive the individual attention they need to thrive. Parents can feel confident their child is growing in an environment that weaves together structure and creativity, faith and joy, play and exploration, nurturing and care for lasting learning.
