TODDLER PROGRAM
Encouraging independence and self-confidence through play and learning
Toddlers are very busy at school! Whether building, painting, climbing, dancing, or snuggling, our toddlers are learning something new each day. Toddler teachers begin to establish predictable daily routines so children feel safe and confident to explore their environment.
Health and Safety in the Toddler Classroom
- Regular health screenings of children and teachers
- Daily sanitization of toys and other classroom materials
- Regular disinfection of high-touch surfaces
- 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio for individualized care
- CPR- and First Aid-certified staff
Our Toddlers’ Day
- Engaging arrival/transition activities
- Healthy snacks (morning and afternoon)
- Circle Time (songs, stories, movement)

Home-School Connections
In addition to sharing information at pick-up and drop-off times, GHES teachers communicate with families through Procare Engage, a digital communication app. iPads in each classroom allow Toddler teachers to send daily reports on:
- Meals
- Diaper changes
- Nap times
- Classroom activities (photos and videos)
- Special events
Families can also use Engage to update teachers on developmental changes and any special needs for the day.
We also welcome all our families to become involved in their campus community through classroom visits, volunteering, and special family events
