Program

Play, routine, and connection every day.

Our program is designed for children 12 months to 4 years who are ready for a warm group setting, predictable routines, hands-on play, and loving guidance throughout the day.

Best fit

A strong fit matters in a small home daycare.

Enrollment is not simply about the next open spot. We look at age, nap routine, mobility, self-feeding, start timeline, and the current group mix.

  • Full-time care only
  • Best suited for children 12 months to 4 years
  • Helpful if child is transitioning toward one nap or already on one nap
  • Helpful if child is walking or learning to walk
  • Helpful if child is self-feeding or learning to self-feed

Our care style

We combine structure and flexibility. Children know what comes next, but the day still leaves room for toddler energy, big feelings, weather, group needs, and real life.

Learning through play

Everyday routines become learning moments.

Toddlers learn through doing. We introduce early concepts through stories, songs, conversation, sensory play, pretend play, outdoor movement, art, and daily routines.

Language & connection

Books, songs, conversations, emotion words, and simple group activities help children build confidence.

Movement & independence

Outdoor play, riding toys, climbing, handwashing, cleanup, self-feeding, and simple routines build independence.

Creativity & problem-solving

Art, sensory bins, building, puzzles, music, dramatic play, and open-ended materials support development.

Daily schedule

A predictable rhythm children can count on.

The schedule gives children a secure flow while still leaving room for toddler realities, weather, group energy, and developmental needs.

Breakfast is served no later than 9:00 AM. If your child arrives after 9:00 AM, please make sure they have already eaten breakfast.

Daily communication

Diaper checks happen every two hours or as needed. Lillio updates help parents follow meals, naps, diapers, photos, and important notes.

Children settle in, say goodbye, and begin the day.

Transitions

New routines are hard. We make them manageable.

Starting daycare is a big step. We help children settle in with consistency, warm goodbyes, familiar routines, and patient repetition.

  • Short, reassuring drop-offs work best
  • Parents are encouraged to say goodbye clearly and calmly
  • Children are supported through big feelings without shame
  • Updates through Lillio help parents feel connected during the day
