Toddler Program

(12m-24m)

Toddlers acquire knowledge through active exploration. Our teachers facilitate growth by introducing structure as well as encouraging independent curiosity.


By observing and reflecting on children's interests, our faculty designs units of study aligned to developmentally appropriate learning standards.

Program Highlights

  • Individualized care with attention to each toddler’s growth and development, and a schedule that balances structured activities and independent play.

  • Our toddler curriculum is supplemented by expert-led enrichments, like music and soccer, which offer new skills while sparking joy and curiosity.

  • Classrooms designed to encourage toddlers’ growing independence, while ensuring each child continues to feel safe and secure.

  • There are no insignificant moments in a toddler’s day. We use an app called Brightwheel to keep families up to date on all their child’s learning and care with photos, videos and messages sent in real time.

Meet Hali & Daryl, Vivvi Parents to Jackson (Toddler)

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.
