Toddlers
This program plants the seeds for vibrant growth for our youngest learners, ages 18 to 36 months. The student-to-adult ratio is 5:1.
ThistleWaithe’s toddler program provides a sensory-rich learning environment for children where each morning is full of discovery. Exploration is safe and supported yet brimming with challenges, wonder, and joy.
Early problem-solving skills provide a strong scaffold for future learning. Whether preparing a snack, sorting colorful clothing items, or using tools to create and transform something, the toddler works independently and at a pace conducive to mastery.
The gift of time is treasured - come watch as we blossom and thrive!
