Toddlers

18 months – 3 years

(201) 460-7070

Play and Learn

In our Toddler Room, we use Mother Goose Time early learning curriculum. The teachers engage children’s curiosity by offering sensory-reach play that inspires kids’ imagination through art, drama, investigation of the world, and invokes their problem-solving skills. 
Teachers nurture caring relationships with children and encourage them to express their feelings in a productive way. 
Children experience hands-on learning through play, dance to toddler tunes, coloring, and reading books. 

Please and Thank You

Toddlers also start learning social manners and mutual respect. Sharing and caring are operative words as well as the magical words “please” and “thank you”. at this age, children are exposed to letters, numbers, colors, and shapes to start building a foundation of learning. Potty-training is a major developmental step at this age.
The children enjoy Circle Time where they discuss the weather, calendar, daily routine, and participate in age-appropriate problem-solving.

Exploring Foods with Peers

In our academy, we encourage parents to participate in our amazing lunch program. We work with Simply Gourmet Caterers company that provides our children and staff with healthy and tasty meals. The food is nutritious, delicious, and child-friendly.  You can choose from a variety of options for your little one. The choices will please even the pickiest eater. Products are nut-free, with no additives or artificial ingredients, limited GMO, and comes from farm to table, all year round. Of course, all food is thoughtfully prepared and individually packaged in a clean facility to ensure the safety of our children.  

Encouraging Imagination

The children delight in their yoga and music classes as well as the many other special activities prepared for them. They participate in activities that help to develop their fine motor skills. They have a great time enjoying the learning centers, dressing in costumes, and letting their imaginations take them to interesting places.

Weather permitting the children to enjoy playtime in a spacious, fenced-in yard. When the children cannot do outdoor activities, they have fun doing their indoor “toddler-exercises”.

What Our Families are Saying

Krystyna K

My son loves it there. He is always very excited in the morning when we enter a school and sometimes doesn't want to leave in the evening. The place is clear and also quiet. I very rarely heard kids crying. Teachers are fantastic and I would recommend this school to anyone.

Robby S

Our day care search was intense and we visited quite a few places. Nowhere did we get the positive feeling we got walking out of LTA. It's a gift that we can find such a high quality day care so close to home that checks off so many boxes. Wonderful management and staff which keep our son happy, learning, and developing.

Tatyana Higgs

This school is the best. My daughter went there for a year and she has learned so much. I would recommend this place to everyone. Love the teachers and principal

My kids have been going here since they were months. They know everyone and are like a second family. The activities are great and the variety and options for more is always available. Great staff, very caring and attentive. Highly recommend.

KRYSTYNA KOPCIUCH

Wish I could attend this school myself. My son is always so excited in the morning when we enter school and it's struggle to get him leave in the evening. Teachers are fantastic and very professional. Groups are very small and place is very clean and quiet. I would recommend this school to anyone.

Our daughter loves going to school to not only see her friends but to also see the teachers. Mrs. Mary/Dana, Marissa,Lucy and now Mrs Lori & Colleen. She loves all of you & We are extremely happy that all of you treat her as if she was one of your own....

The Learning Tree Academy is a great day-care facility. My son has been going here for over 2 years. He is learning and having fun. The teachers are like a second family. It’s easier for me to go to work each day, knowing my child is in good hands.

How do you keep the building secure?

At Learning Tree Academy, we believe the same level of safety and security expertise that protects The President should be called upon to keep your child safe.

SEC is a group of highly-skilled security and protection experts.

What happens if my child needs medication?

We will ask you to fill out a special medication form with all the necessary information we need to administer the medication for your child. Medications should be in their original packaging and must be prescribed to the child.

What do you do about food allergies?

We will ask you to fill out the allergy form for your child and will make any accommodations necessary to keep your baby safe with us. 

What happens if my child becomes ill at school?

Our children's wellbeing is our top priority. If your child becomes ill, has a very high fever, vomiting, has diarrhea, or is exhibiting any other symptoms of a contagious illness, you will be notified and asked to pick the child up. In cases requiring medication, we ask that the child only returns to our care after finishing medication and 24 hrs fever-free. Illnesses are dealt with on a case by case basis.
