What Lotus Provides
Toddlers need a safe environment in order to explore, learn and develop. These little ones are intuitively curious and eager to delve into almost everything in their immediate surroundings.
Our specially trained staff and teachers are ready to take on your highly energetic, jubilant toddler. We work closely with each child to maintain a positive, loving and caring relationship that will support his/her social and emotional development.
Our toddlers are encouraged to explore (develop gross motor skills) and play with others (develop appropriate social skills) while our staff simultaneously introduces colors, shapes, numbers, language and music into their environment.
