Toddler Program
(12m-24m)
Toddlers acquire knowledge through active exploration. Our teachers facilitate growth by introducing structure as well as encouraging independent curiosity.

Children enrolled in Vivvi learn through themes inspired by the questions they ask every day.
Early Childhood Education Curriculum in Action
By observing and reflecting on children's interests, our faculty designs units of study aligned to developmentally appropriate learning standards.

Vivvi Faculty
Vivvi is brought to life by passionate teachers with years of experience who foster children’s curiosity, development and a love of learning.
“Toddlers have passion and curiosity for everything! Every moment is a teachable moment. Toddlers are learning how to navigate the world every day and love to be independent. My favorite thing about working with them is their unconditional love for all teachers and the trust they are able to instill in us."
-- Alison E. - Toddler Teacher
