Toddlers Program at Olive Garden Early Learning

At Olive Garden Early Learning, our Toddlers Program is carefully designed to support the energy, curiosity, and growth of children aged 2 to 3 years. This is a magical stage of discovery and development, and our goal is to nurture their blossoming independence while fostering a love for learning in a safe, engaging, and supportive environment.

Why Choose Our Toddlers Program?

Play-Based Learning
Our program embraces the power of play as a natural way for toddlers to explore their world. Through hands-on activities, interactive games, and creative play, we help your child develop important skills like problem-solving, communication, and teamwork.

Encouraging Independence
We understand that toddlers are eager to explore and assert their independence. Our educators encourage self-help skills like feeding, dressing, and toileting, building confidence and a sense of achievement.

Social and Emotional Growth
Toddlers begin forming meaningful relationships with their peers and educators. We support social and emotional development through group activities, cooperative play, and guidance on expressing feelings and resolving conflicts.
