Toddler Program

A warm, play-based space where toddlers at Annie Babies Daycare gain confidence, practice communication, and grow more independent each day.

Growing Through Movement and Play

Ages 12 months – 3 years

Our toddler program in Dolton supports little learners as they discover routines, friendships, and new abilities. With caring guidance and age-appropriate activities, children feel safe to explore, express themselves, and build early skills at their own pace.

At Annie Babies Daycare, teachers create structure while giving toddlers room to explore, try new things, and build trust. We use positive guidance, consistency, and nurturing support to encourage steady growth.

Toddlers discover new ideas through active exploration, hands-on materials, and playful experiences that spark curiosity.

Language and Communication

Daily conversations, songs, stories, and simple directions help children practice words, gestures, and self-expression.

Physical Development and Health

Climbing, dancing, running, and guided movement build balance, coordination, strength, and healthy confidence.

Children practice sharing space, forming bonds, naming feelings, and learning gentle ways to interact with others.
