Toddlers program
Smart Steps Academy
One of the most exciting stages of a child’s development is moving from infant to toddler – Sunrise Preschools is here to help them embrace their newfound energy, help them find a sense of independence, and further their curiosity about the world around them. Our Toddlers program is specifically geared to promote physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development with child-initiated play as well as structured activities. We ensure each day contains steps towards a bright future, and so many reasons for your toddler to smile.
Toddler-focused, age-appropriate curriculum
Our proprietary HighReach Learning curriculum includes a variety of activities and play-based learning opportunities that guide children towards developing crucial cognitive and social skills, as well as creating an environment where toddlers can learn to be more independent. The central themes of our Toddlers program include exploration, curiosity, and growth each day.
What your toddler’s day will look like
Our Toddlers program creates a balance between structured routines, flexible schedules, and plenty of time spent outdoors – all with the goal of ensuring your child can thrive as much as possible in our care. Toddlers at Sunrise Preschools will be able to learn about communication with their peers and their caring teachers, self-expression, and cooperation, all while building a strong foundation for their confidence and independence.
Important learning milestones
Each of our programs has a set of developmental milestones that are backed by research, and set your child up for success later in life from infancy, to grade school, and beyond. Our talented, certified caregivers and teachers keep a close eye on your child each day and ensure that your toddler is celebrated when they hit a developmental milestone – we’re here to help children learn and grow, all while creating cherished memories.
