At Willowdale Children’s Academy, we understand that toddlers are naturally curious and always on the move. 

Our toddler classrooms are designed to provide a safe, stimulating, and hands-on learning environment where your child can explore, discover, and grow. 

With a focus on STEAM-based activities, sensory exploration, and social development, we create a foundation for lifelong learning and success.

Why Choose Willowdale Children's Academy for Your Toddler?

Hands-On STEAM Learning

Our toddler program integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) activities to encourage exploration and discovery. From sensory tables to cause-and-effect experiments, your toddler will engage in age-appropriate, hands-on learning.

Safe and Inclusive Environment

We prioritize your toddler’s health, wellness, and safety. Our classrooms are organized with age-appropriate toys, labeled personal items, and rigorous cleaning protocols to ensure a safe and welcoming space.

Experienced and Caring Teachers

Our teachers are trained early education professionals who focus on building trust, fostering independence, and creating meaningful one-on-one interactions to support your toddler’s development.

Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum

Our program is tailored to your toddler’s age and developmental stage, focusing on motor skills, language acquisition, social interaction, and problem-solving.

Visual and Sensory Learning

We use visual cues, music, sounds, and play to teach concepts such as counting, the alphabet, and the days of the week. We use sensory tables to allow toddlers to explore various textures, conduct science experiments, and engage in imaginative play.
