Toddler Room at Circle of Friends Academy
Now Enrolling Toddlers (2 to 3 years)
A playful, supportive environment where toddlers build confidence, independence, and friendships through exploration and everyday learning.
A Place to Explore, Learn & Grow
The toddler years are filled with curiosity, movement, and big developmental changes. Children are learning how to communicate, build friendships, express emotions, and navigate the world around them.
At Circle of Friends Academy, our toddler room provides a nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore, play, and grow at their own pace. Through hands-on activities, guided routines, and meaningful social interaction, toddlers build confidence, independence, communication skills, and early learning foundations every day.
Our teachers create supportive classroom experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and connection while helping children feel encouraged and successful throughout the day.
As part of the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, families also have the added reassurance of trusted developmental expertise and support services if concerns ever arise.
