Acorns (Toddler Room)

The staff in our Baby and Toddler room are especially sensitive to the needs of our youngest children. Therefore the routine in this room allows for more flexibility to meet children’s needs and many children follow their own routine within the setting. Below is an example of a routine for a toddler.
