🧠 Imagineers Program (2 years program)
At My Little Hearts, our Imagineers Program is designed for toddlers who are beginning to assert their independence, explore their surroundings, and express their unique personalities. This stage is full of wonder, and we meet it with love, structure, and purposeful play.
🌱 Developmental Growth in a Safe, Joyful Space
Our two-year-olds are rapidly developing language, motor skills, and emotional awareness. We support this growth through:
- Language & Communication: Encouraging expressive speech, active listening, and early vocabulary
- Motor Skills: Daily activities that strengthen coordination, balance, and fine motor control
- Social-Emotional Learning: Practicing sharing, empathy, and self-regulation through guided play
- Creative Exploration: Music, art, sensory play, and movement that reflect diverse cultures and experiences
🧩 Structured Routine with Flexibility
Toddlers thrive with consistency and gentle transitions. Our daily schedule includes:
- Morning circle time and songs
- Hands-on learning centers
- Outdoor play and movement
- Rest and quiet time
- Free play and exploration
We balance structure with freedom, allowing children to make choices and build confidence in a safe, nurturing environment.
🌍 Inclusive & Culturally Responsive Care
We celebrate every child’s background and identity. Our classrooms feature books, toys, and activities that reflect a wide range of cultures, languages, and traditions helping children feel seen, respected, and inspired.
🧑🏫 Loving Educators & Individualized Support
Our teachers are trained in toddler development and culturally responsive care. We meet each child where they are whether they’re mastering new words, navigating big emotions, or learning to play with others with patience, encouragement, and love.
🤝 Family Partnership & Communication
We believe families are our partners. You’ll receive daily updates, photos, and insights into your child’s growth. We welcome your voice, your traditions, and your dreams for your child.
