FAQs for finding toddler daycares near you
What is toddler daycare?
Toddler daycare is a type of child care that provides comprehensive, holistic programs and services for children between the ages of 1 to 3 years old. It's an optimal environment for young children to develop social skills, gain independence, learn to express themselves, and understand basic concepts such as size sequencing and texture sorting. Toddler daycare offers age-appropriate activities such as storytelling, singing, games, arts and crafts, and free play time indoors and outdoors. In addition to providing supervised playtime, toddler daycare typically incorporates regular educational routines such as counting or reading that help foster the emerging language skills of toddlers.
What are the benefits of toddler daycare?
Toddler daycare programs offer an array of benefits for both parents and children. A toddler daycare provides a safe, nurturing environment for your toddler to explore and learn through developmentally-appropriate activities and interactions with other children their age. This helps toddlers to build strong relationships, develop social skills, and gain independence. Toddlers also benefit from lots of physical activity, creativity, music and language development in toddler daycare. Parents can relax with the peace of mind that their child is building relationships in a positive environment, all while engaging in fun activities tailored to their toddler’s individual developmental level and interests.
What are the hours of operation for toddler daycare?
Toddler daycares generally operate during the typical business hours of most establishments -- Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM. Some toddler daycares may offer extended hours, and they might even open on Saturdays or Sundays depending on the facility's policy. Hours of operation are usually posted on toddler daycare websites or stated when you contact them. Before enrolling your toddler in a program, it is a great idea to check their hours of operation to be certain that they meet your individual needs.
What is the average class size for toddler daycare?
The average class size for toddler daycare centers can vary greatly depending on the center and its size. Generally, toddler daycares strive to keep their class sizes at an optimum level of between 10 and 15 students per classroom setting. This allows for toddler-aged children to get adequate attention from the teachers and ensure that kids are safe in their care. Depending on the toddler daycare's educational philosophy, some will choose to have a lower student count than others.
