Senior Toddlers Program at Olive Garden Early Learning

Welcome to Our Senior Toddlers Program
At Olive Garden Early Learning, our Senior Toddlers Program is specially crafted for children aged 3 to 4 years, a stage of rapid growth and exploration. During this time, children begin to develop their personalities, expand their independence, and build foundational skills for lifelong learning. Our program fosters this growth in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment tailored to their unique developmental needs.

Why Choose Our Senior Toddlers Program?

Skill-Building Through Play
Play is central to our approach, offering opportunities for your child to develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Activities are designed to challenge their growing abilities while keeping learning fun and engaging.
Preparing for Preschool
Our Senior Toddlers Program bridges the gap between toddlerhood and preschool, introducing structured routines and early learning experiences that build confidence and readiness for the next stage.
Fostering Independence
At this age, children thrive on independence. We encourage self-help skills such as dressing, tidying up, and making choices, helping your child build confidence and a sense of responsibility.
Social and Emotional Development
Senior toddlers start forming stronger friendships and understanding social norms. Through group play and guided activities, we nurture empathy, cooperation, and emotional expression.
