  involved in various stimulations and art play.  Infants will participate in going outside daily when temperatures

  PRE-TODDLER & TODDLER CHILD CARE   RATES
 
The Pre-Toddler room serves children from 16 months to 30 months and the Toddler room serves children
  30 months to 36 months.

 

  These programs provide a safe, healthy learning atmosphere that allows active exploration, play, and
  movement by the children.  We encourage development of language.  The staff help with words to solve
  small conflicts with the other children.  The children attend chapel two mornings per week to help build
  spiritual training.  The program includes prayer, simple Jesus songs, finger plays, and bible stories.  They will
  have access to water, paint, clay, and other "messy" mediums.  They will participate in outdoor play and
  walks when the temperature is 30 degrees or higher.

 

Breakfast, lunch, and PM snack are offered.  (With NO substitutions unless medically or religious necessity.)  The ABC Center receives supplemental support with the USDA program administered on Ohio by the Ohio State Department of Education.  More information is available upon request.

 

Potty training in this room will be encouraged as your child develops interest.  ABC staff will work closely with parents in training.
