Twaddler Care
Your child is a “twaddler” for a brief, magical time—a period of wobbly walks and soaring independence. This is a special moment when they transition from toddler to preschooler, eager to explore the world with new confidence. You want a program that understands this unique stage, one that combines the comforting care of toddlerhood with the exciting challenges of preschool.

Twaddler Care Program
Finding the right care for your "twaddler" can be tricky. They're no longer babies, but they aren't quite ready for a full-fledged preschool curriculum. You may be looking for a program that gives them the freedom to explore while still providing a structured, supportive routine. You worry about their social development, their ability to follow directions, and their emotional growth. The search for a twaddler care program that bridges this gap can be stressful, leaving you with questions about how to best support your child's transition.
We designed our twaddler care program for children 24 to 36 months with a clear goal: to support your child's journey toward greater independence and self-confidence. Our approach blends the comfort of familiar routines with new, exciting opportunities for learning and play.
Here's how we nurture your child's growth:
-
Structured Play & Learning: Our curriculum introduces early concepts through engaging, hands-on activities. Twaddlers build foundational skills in language, math, and science through creative play, story time, and puzzles.
-
Building Independence: We provide opportunities for your child to practice important self-help skills. They learn to put on their coats, clean up toys, and use the potty with our patient and encouraging guidance.
-
Social and Emotional Development: We help twaddlers learn how to interact with others. Through guided group activities, they practice sharing, taking turns, and expressing their feelings in healthy ways, building a strong foundation for friendships.
-
A Strong Family Partnership: We believe in open communication. We give you regular updates on your child's day, from new vocabulary words they've used to how they’re progressing with new skills. We work with you to ensure a seamless and positive experience.
At Strong Roots, your twaddler gets the loving support and stimulating environment they need to thrive. We are committed to providing a place where your little one can grow, learn, and feel cherished every single day.
