Family Flex’s toddler program is available for children ages 19 months to three years.

Each of the two toddler classrooms are staffed by two teachers. One classroom is designed for younger toddlers (ages 19 months through 29 months) and may accommodate up to 10 children, which results in a 1:5 adult-to-child ratio. The other may accommodate up to 14 older toddlers (ages 30 months through 36 months), which results in a 1:7 ratio.

To enhance the caregiver-child relationship, Family Flex employs a looping philosophy, which means each toddler will have the same teachers until he or she is ready to advance to the preschool program.

The daily schedule is structured to help children ease into the day, participate in group activities, explore their surroundings on an individual basis and prepare to return home. Meals, snacks and naptime are integrated with the day’s activities, as well as diaper changes/toilet usage and hand washing.

Learning activities include teacher-directed small group activities such as singing, listening to stories and discussing a topic of the day. In addition, the children work on art projects and participate in musical activities. The schedule features an abundance of playtime, both outdoors (weather permitting) and indoors.

Serving as the foundation for Family Flex’s educational efforts is the nationally renowned Creative Curriculum (more information). The staff uses the Touchpoints communication philosophy, developed by Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, to help build strong relationships with parents.

Full-time (Monday through Friday) tuition for younger toddlers (19 months through 29 months) is $1,150 per month. Part-time (three days a week) tuition for younger toddlers is $230 per week.

Full-time (Monday through Friday) tuition for older toddlers (30 months through 36 months) is $1,050 per month. Part-time (three days a week) tuition for older toddlers is $200 per week.
