Ages 1–2

A gentle beginning.
A little more confidence.

At one and two, children learn through movement, repetition, and relationships. Our Christian toddler program combines nurturing childcare with early learning at our Glendale and Goodyear campuses.

Patient teachers help children settle in, practice simple choices, and find words for what they need. A predictable day gives toddlers time to explore without rushing them toward the next stage.

Little discoveries, every day

Learning through play, one discovery at a time.

Words, gestures & connection

Conversations, picture books, songs, and naming everyday objects build early language. Teachers help toddlers express needs, make choices, and practice alternatives to grabbing or crying.

Sensory play & curious hands

Stacking, scooping, grasping, and simple art invite toddlers to explore textures, solve small problems, and strengthen coordination. Activities make room for curiosity and repetition.

First friendships & big feelings

Waiting, sharing, and taking turns take practice. Teachers model gentle hands, use calm redirection, and help toddlers rejoin play after a difficult moment.

Little “I can do it” moments

Putting toys away, finding belongings, and following simple directions give children supported opportunities to try things for themselves. Small steps count.

A rhythm they can count on

A toddler day with a familiar rhythm.

Classroom timing can vary, but familiar routines help your child understand what comes next. The day makes space for movement, learning, rest, and connection.

Curriculum & daily schedule
  1. A warm welcome

    Gentle arrival routines and an inviting activity help toddlers reconnect with their teachers at drop-off.

  2. Time to explore

    Hands-on play, stories, songs, and teacher conversations support language and early problem-solving.

  3. Meals, rest & a reset

    Calm transitions, meal routines, and quieter moments give young children time to rest and regroup.

  4. Move & play

    Outdoor time and movement offer chances to practice coordination and enjoy being active.

Christ at the heart of every day

Little hearts.
Growing in faith.

For toddlers, Christian character begins in everyday relationships. Teachers model kindness, gratitude, patience, and respect through gentle words and caring responses. Little moments—being kind to a friend or using gentle hands—become opportunities to practice God’s love.

Our Christian faith & values

Progress, one day at a time

Growing at their own pace.

Development is individual. These are skills we support through daily practice, not milestones children must master before joining the classroom.

  • Expressing needs with words or gestures
  • Trying simple choices and following short directions
  • Helping with clean-up and finding familiar belongings
  • Practicing waiting, sharing, and gentle hands
  • Becoming more comfortable with routines and transitions

Teachers & families, together

A reassuring start for your family.

Some toddlers settle in quickly; others need more time. Teachers offer reassurance, familiar cues, and engaging play during separation and drop-off. We guide behavior with patient, age-appropriate expectations and make room for helpful conversations with families about adjustment and progress.

Attentive supervision and clean learning spaces are part of our approach to care. Ask us about classroom routines, drop-off, and pick-up during your visit.
