Needing more than "basic" Infant care, but not ready for the curriculum that challenges a Preschooler? Barbara's Toddler Program recognizes the transitional phase that these young children are going through. Throughout the growth of a toddler, vast differences in physical, cognitive, social, and emotional abilities are evident between children. In one child, verbal skills may be very advanced, while gross motor abilities are lacking. Another child may have wonderful recall and memory skills, but interact poorly with peers. Barbara's Toddler Program focuses on all aspects of early childhood development, allowing children to grow and learn at a pace they are comfortable with. Barbara's small groups and attentive staff allow children to excel with their strengths, and further develop areas that may need assistance. Barbara's will constantly strive to enhance the child's level of confidence and self-esteem, offering a balance of familiar situations and new challenges to their young, growing personalities. Individual Home Rooms provide children with a familiar, comfortable space, while the ability to interact in several different areas throughout Barbara's offers new and exciting opportunities for learning.
