Toddlers Program

Everything is New!

Let’s explore together.

Toddlers are in one of the most exciting — and busiest — stages of development. They’re walking, talking and discovering what they can do. Then they’re two and suddenly language is exploding, they’re yearning for independence and figuring out how to play with other kids.

Our toddler program is designed for every stage of that journey. We give it structure, direction and a whole lot of encouragement.

We serve toddlers ages 1 to 2 years.

1 to 2 Years

Foundation of Excellence

Exceptional care tailored to explore the world around them.

Hands-on learning every day

Our toddler curriculum uses the Beyond Cribs & Rattles® (BC&R) approach — the same research-based framework used throughout our school. Learning happens through play, exploration, music, art and movement.

Independence

As toddlers move through our program, they're learning that they can do things on their own. 

We encourage that. We let them try. We give them the words and skills they need to feel capable and confident to practice.

Lillio App Updates

For children under three, we use the Lillio app. You’ll get updates on your child’s day — naps, meals, diaper changes and photos. You can also message teachers directly through the app.

Social-emotional development

Learning to share. Learning to wait. Learning to use words when something is frustrating. These are big skills, and we work on them with patience and consistency every single day.

Language development 

One of the biggest milestones in the toddler years is language development. Our teachers actively build vocabulary through conversation, story time, songs and rhymes — all day, every day. By two, children are absorbing language at an incredible rate, and our classrooms are designed to keep up with that.

A Day in the Classroom

We provide a rhythmic balance of structure and freedom, ensuring toddlers feel secure while they explore.

Circle Time & Morning Greeting

A warm welcome featuring songs, weather talk, and daily curriculum focus.

Learning Centers & Sensory Work

Individualized exploration at art, math and practical life stations.

Outdoor Exploration

Active play and nature discovery in our playgrounds that are designed with intention.

Nutritious Meals & Restful Sleep

Healthy snacks and lunch followed by a restorative quiet period.

What Parents Are Saying

We LOVE Scottsdale! Our daughter has been in their care since she was two months old. Our baby clearly loves going to school — she grins at the workers whenever we drop her off and is always in a great mood when we pick her up.”

— Natalie Kato

I just dropped off my daughter for her last day at Scottsdale Academy, which she has been attending since she was 3-months old. From being a new mom, leaving my infant daughter with strangers for the first time… they have made my daughter and I feel welcome, valued, cared for, and loved.” 

— Amanda Bailey
