Spacious outdoor learning environment Separate nap room (Personal crib or toddler bed.) Multicultural Curriculum with Yoga and Gardening Lessons All Staff has Child Development Degrees Music and Movement Turtle Exhibit and Pet Chickens Affordable rates - rates include healthy homemade meals Hours: 7:30 am to 5:30 pm We have positive reviews Healthy Toddlers Care mission is to provide a program which considers the intellectual, creative, social, emotional and physical development of the whole child while fostering curiosity, confidence, and compassion in an academically rich environment that inspires a lifelong commitment to learning. We believe that a safe, stable, healthy and culturally relevant environment is crucial to a child's growth. Through the cooperative partnership of parents and staff, we provide a model of community that will sustain and enrich our children throughout their lives. FAQ Q: What age range do you accept? Generally, we only accept infants who are 18 months and older. However, we may make an exception for a child who can walk and feed him/her self. If your child doesn't have these skills, it's best for you to sign up for our waiting list. However, we will except school age students for drop-in purposes. We understand that families need services when their school may have an extended holiday break or school closer dates. Q: Do you have a cut off age? Yes. Our enrollment cut-off age is four-years-old. We strongly believe that children need to graduate from childcare to preschool at age four. Just as students in an elementary, middle and high school are usually grouped by age, we find that the four-year-olds are ready to break away from the toddlers and infants to prepare for kindergarten. Q: Do you accept part-time enrollments? I was thinking of using a childcare service for two or three days a week. As a family childcare home, we have a limited number of students we can enroll. It doesn't make sense for us to allocate space for part-time students. You are welcome to enroll your child on a full-time basis and not send him/her every day. But we do charge full tuition for every child regardless of the number of days he/she attends. Q: What are your hours? Our regular hours are from 7:30 to 5:30. Ther
