Gabrielito’s Toddler Program (2Years-3Years)

  • Welcome

    At Gabrielito’s Daycare, we are honored to partner with you during this exciting stage of your child’s development. Our program for toddlers aged 2-3 years is thoughtfully designed to support their natural curiosity, growing independence, and budding social-emotional skills. We believe that every moment is a learning opportunity, and our nurturing environment ensures that your child feels safe, valued, and empowered to explore their world. With a balance of structured activities, play-based learning, and loving care, we strive to foster confidence, creativity, and connection in your little one.

  • Our Philosophy

    We understand that toddlers are active explorers, learning to express themselves and interact with others. Our holistic approach focuses on nurturing their development through a “Mind, Body, and Soul” philosophy. We encourage mindfulness to build emotional resilience, physical movement to develop motor skills and confidence, and engaging activities to stimulate curiosity and creativity. Our curriculum integrates age-appropriate learning experiences that help toddlers grow in language, motor skills, and social-emotional development. Additionally, we provide support for families ready to begin potty training, ensuring a positive and consistent experience at home and in daycare.

  • How Our Curriculum Engages Your Toddler

    Our toddler program is tailored to meet the developmental milestones of 2-3 year-olds, emphasizing hands-on exploration, sensory activities, and social interactions. Daily routines help establish predictability and comfort while promoting independence and self-confidence. From themed storytimes to creative art projects and active play, every activity is designed to enhance your child’s learning in a fun and meaningful way. With a focus on fostering relationships and encouraging self-expression, our curriculum helps toddlers build the skills they need to thrive.

Example Daily Schedule for 2-3 Year-Olds

Our toddler schedule is flexible and adaptable to meet the individual needs of each child:

  • To ensure your toddler has everything they need for a fun and comfortable day, we kindly ask parents to provide the following items:

    • Formula, bottles, or sippy cups.

    • Diapers, wipes, and diaper creams.

    • Weather-appropriate clothing and multiple changes of clothes.

    • Shoes suitable for indoor and outdoor play.

    • Pacifiers (if needed).

    • A blanket and pillow or sleep sack for nap time.

    • Any additional comfort items your child may need.

    All items will be labeled and stored individually for your child’s use.

  • Yes! We offer potty-training lessons and support for both parents and children who are ready for this milestone. Our approach is patient, positive, and tailored to each child’s readiness level. We work closely with parents to create a consistent routine between home and daycare, using praise and encouragement to make potty training a stress-free experience. For children who are not yet ready, we continue with regular diaper changes and provide gentle introduction activities, such as sitting on a potty chair during transitions.

  • We offer a variety of healthy, home-cooked meals inspired by American, Soul Food, and Latin cuisines, ensuring a balanced diet for all children. If your child has dietary restrictions or food allergies, we work with families to accommodate their needs. For picky eaters, we gently encourage them to try new foods while respecting their preferences. Parents are welcome to communicate any special instructions to help us support their child’s nutritional needs.
