Toddler Program

Weld Re-8 School District's Toddler Program is dedicated to cultivating a foundational love of learning from the earliest possible age, providing a vital start for the youngest members of our community. We offer a holistic and enriching educational experience in a stimulating, nurturing, and highly engaging environment specifically designed for children between the pivotal ages of one and three years old.

Safety and Supervision:
The well-being and security of every child are our paramount concerns. We ensure continuous, vigilant supervision provided by a team of compassionate, reliable, and experienced adult caregivers. Our low child-to-staff ratios are maintained to guarantee personalized attention and care for each toddler throughout the day.

Curriculum and Activities:
Our developmentally appropriate curriculum is designed to support the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Toddlers engage in a diverse, daily array of stimulating activities that encourage exploration and growth:

● Play-Based Learning: Structured and unstructured free play is essential for developing creativity, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.
● Creative Arts: Artistic creations, including painting, drawing, and sensory activities, foster fine motor skills and self-expression.
● Music and Movement: Singing, dancing, and various movement activities support gross motor development, rhythm, and language acquisition.
● Early Literacy and Language: Introduction to books, storytelling, and interactive language games helps lay a strong foundation for future reading success.
● Social-Emotional Development: Activities focus on sharing, cooperation, managing emotions, and building positive peer relationships.

Program Structure:
To best meet the developmental needs of our participants, the Toddler Program is organized into two distinct classrooms:

● 1-2-Year-Old Classroom: Focused on early sensory exploration, communication, and basic self-help skills.
● 2-3-Year-Old Classroom: Focused on increased independence, complex language use, and preparation for pre-school concepts.

● Hours of Operation: The program operates Monday through Friday, offering flexible full-day care from 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
● Location: Little Trappers Early Learning Center
● Program Accessibility: Offered at a highly competitive and affordable rate, this essential service is proudly accessible to all families residing within the Weld Re-8 School District boundaries as well as the broader Fort Lupton community.
● Meals: We provide nutritious and balanced meals, including a morning breakfast, a full lunch, and an afternoon snack, all designed to meet the dietary needs of growing toddlers.
● Closures: Families should always refer to the official Weld Re-8 School District calendar for all scheduled closure dates, holidays, and in-service days.

Weld Re-8 School District's Toddler Program is committed to being a supportive partner to parents in nurturing happy, curious, and well-adjusted young learners.
