Trusted Daycare for Your Toddlers

The experienced teachers at the Kids Educational Center are ready to meet both parents and their children’s needs as they begin their childcare journey together. All our daycare programs provide safe, supervised environments that allow your child to grow, and our toddler rooms are no different.

It’s so special to watch as they age out of the infant stage and begin to show signs of the person they’ll become. How such large personalities can fit into their tiny bodies, we’ll never know! Fun personalities are always encouraged at our daycare as we begin teaching them the educational and personal skills that will carry them into school and into their adult lives. With our flexible scheduling, daily nutritious meals, and licensed staff, we’re the right daycare choice for any family in the Triangle region.

Helping Toddlers Become Curious, Confident, and Kind

While we may call them “classrooms,” our play-based learning is never structured around sitting at desks, especially for ones as young as our toddlers. They learn by exploring the world, not observing it! Developing foundational skills in early childhood education can be done in a fun, interactive way, which is exactly what our childcare providers do.

We show our toddlers that learning is just another game through activities like:

  • Creative arts and crafts
  • Reading books
  • Singing and dancing
  • Playing with toy manipulatives

Age-Appropriate Skillsets Toddlers Develop

Language and Communication

Any childcare center for toddlers should focus on teaching them basic language and communication skills. Listening effectively, working on developing vocabulary, speaking in sentences, and following simple directions from teachers are practiced daily in our toddler classrooms.

Learning these skills before preschool is a game-changer for their confidence and independence levels. They’ll be rockstars in any classroom with the help of our childcare experts!

Social and Emotional Connections

At the Kids Educational Center, learning isn’t limited to pen and paper – we place just as much importance on teaching children how to interact with peers and develop appropriate emotional connections.

Sharing is a big one! It may be impossible to find a toddler who likes to share, but by the end of their time in our toddler classroom, it’ll be second nature! Taking turns, building friendships, and following classroom routines are incredibly important foundations to have before beginning preschool.

Early Cognitive and Motor Skills

Early thinking and motor skills can be developed without your toddler suspecting they’re “at school” at all! Building towers or doing a puzzle helps with problem-solving; counting toys and matching shapes help form early math skills; painting develops fine motor skills, while running, dancing, and playing games fine-tune gross motor skills.

Play-based learning certainly has its advantages!

Toddler Daycare is a Breath of Fresh Air

Thanks to North Carolina’s mild weather, our daycare can prioritize daily outside activities. Toddlers can run, play on the playground equipment, and socialize to their heart’s desire. All the while, they’re building skills in communication, imagination, and physical development while having a great time and enjoying the fresh air.

So long as we’re not in the middle of a thunderstorm, no day is complete until our toddler daycare group has spent some quality time in the sunshine!
