Toddlers

Toddlerhood is a time of emerging independence and rapid growth and development. The goal of Nest Learning Academy is to foster this desire for independence and provide activities that will build confidence, and boost both gross and fine motor skills. Emotional regulation is also an emerging skill at this stage in development. As a result, the social-emotional curriculum and life skills curriculum begins in our toddler program. 

Each student will have an individualized care plan, and you will receive updates in real time regarding their feeding schedule, diapering times, nap frequency and duration, and pictures during activity times.

Ages 16 months to 33 months
