Northwoods Childcare Development Center
Toddler Care
Our toddler child care program facilitates learning through a strategic environment conducive to discovery and play while under constant supervision by our trained teachers. Play is a very important part of both the infant and toddler child care program. Play is vital to growth and learning, along with providing opportunities for discovery through natural experiences. Our toddlers make discoveries and choices, solve problems, and begin to learn what is of interest to them.
