Toddler Programs
Once your child becomes more mobile, we stimulate development in a variety of ways:
- Physical Engagement. Very young children develop at a fast pace at this stage, so they require gross motor activities to help build and fine-tune their
movement skills. We offer several developmental activities for our toddlers, which is fun for both the child and the caregiver.
- Intellectual Stimulation. Through verbal exchanges, playing music, making various noises, we encourage your one-year-old to explore objects for size, shape, color, texture, movement, position, and sound. Our goal is to facilitate bottle holding, fingering foods, picking up small objects, and learning to creep, crawl, and walk.
- Social Development. By interacting with familiar people and each other, toddlers at A Child’s Academy receive reassurance and nurturing at all times. Our caregivers offer a gentle touch and a calm voice while encouraging friendly play.

Why our Parents Love ACA:
“I am very pleased with A Child's Academy. It was very important for me to find a safe, Christian, stimulating environment for my child and it has been that to her since enrollment 2008.
Safety is the first and most important attribute. The staff is meticulous about cleanliness in the VPK class-- handwashing to prevent the spread of germs. They are also conscious about falls, proper check-in of adult visitors, and prevention of rough play among the 4 yr olds.
Equally important to me is the Christian environment found at A Child's Academy. The school reinforces my family tradition of prayer, blessing food, diversity, and good citizenship/community service. I was impressed when my 4 yr old expressed interest in Haiti and Earthquake Relief.
A Child's Academy has also helped my daughter get prepared for Kindergarden. In addition to the 3 R's-- Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, she has learned the rules and etiquette of classroom academic settings from firm but caring teachers.
A Child's Academy's most powerful testimonial is from my daughter -- "they are all my friends"”
