Toddler Program

toddler program

Overview

While the focus is still largely on their primary care, toddlers begin to take their first steps towards greater independence. We promote their development through play and natural exploration of their surroundings. While much of a toddler’s world is all about “me”, we begin to lay the basis for positive social interaction and support his or her positive relationships with peers. Toddlers are encouraged to become more independent and work hard at doing things for themselves. They gain a tremendous sense of pride and positive self-esteem when they discover that they can do it! Willowbrae Academy curriculum has three unique programs. Our Young Scholars program is based on three key learning areas: literacy, mathematics, and science. Toddlers are exposed to activities in these areas that will encourage; self-expression, listening, exploration & discovery, identification & recognition, and problem solving. Willowbrae’s BodyBreak KID FIT focuses on activity and education. We provide physical activities and healthy lifestyle education while children are in our care. Our Willowbrae Creative Kids includes: visual arts, dramatic play, music, dance & creative movement and culture & heritage. Toddlers are exposed to developmentally appropriate activities in these key areas to help support social, emotional and cognitive growth.

Fascinating centre, very clean, top notch security, caring and understanding team. Its not a cheap daycare, but totally worth it. Would recommend to a friend, cameras in every room are just amazing.

Jennifer M

My child has gotten much better than when he originally started!

Krista Z

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for such a positive experience for Jenna, especially Miss Shirley. I truly feel this was the best decision we made to prepare her for school. I have no worries now. Thanks for running such a great Pre-School program. Everyone will be missed.

Anika C

You can tell the staff at Willowbrae love children. They are truly passionate about the kids and that shows in the care they provide. We can't thank you enough for everything you have done for our daughter.

Nicole B

Great school, programs and atmosphere. We did a lot of research and had all kids in another daycare and home daycare - none of which compare to Willowbrae in Burnside! Staff and teachers are great and care for each child!
