Toddlers
Age Range: 15 Months - 2 1/2 Years
Now that they’re mobile, Toddlers are nothing but movement and curiosity. Shuffling around on shaky legs, they are bold but still seek safety and security. More vocal, but not yet able to make us understand what they are thinking, they need to be listened to and feel like they are included, a part of things. But most of all, they need to be loved and listened to.
At Camden Academy, we provide a spacious, clean environment of creativity and safety for these formative years, transitioning the children smoothly through the ups and downs of Toddlerhood.
