Toddler 2 Program
The Toddler 2 program continues to build on your child's development. Here they will continue to explore, interact, and build lifelong skills. Your child will continue to experience structured activities, free choice, and group and individual activities. The Toddler 2 program is the second part of the two-year toddler program. During the Toddler 2 program we will also concentrate on toilet training skills. Creative Kids Club provides diapers, wipes, nap time cots, books, toys, an AM and PM snack, and a daily lunch as part of the child's tuition.
