Toddler Care Designed for Growing Independence
At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, our Toddler Program is intentionally designed for one of the most exciting stages of early childhood—a time of rapid growth, emerging language, movement, curiosity, and growing independence.
Our boutique toddler classrooms provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children are encouraged to discover the world around them through meaningful relationships, purposeful play, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
Building Independence & Confidence
The toddler years lay an important foundation for communication, social-emotional development, confidence, and independence. With nurturing support and gentle structure, our educators help toddlers develop:
• Language and communication skills
• Social skills and friendships
• Self-help and independence
• Emotional regulation and confidence
• Problem-solving skills
• Curiosity and creativity
• Positive routines and classroom skills
Hands-On STEAM Learning for Toddlers
Learning at Elmhurst Premier is active, engaging, and designed around how toddlers learn best—by doing.
Our STEAM-focused toddler curriculum includes:
• Sensory exploration
• Science and discovery
• Art and creative expression
• Music and movement
• Early math and problem-solving
• Language-rich experiences
• Dramatic and imaginative play
• Fine and gross motor development
Every experience is thoughtfully designed to encourage children to explore, communicate, create, problem-solve, and build confidence as they prepare for their next stage of learning.
More than toddler care. A strong beginning for everything that comes next.
our toddler childcare makes a difference
Educated Teachers. Engaged Families.
Who cares for your child matters. Our teachers bring childcare experience along with an Early Childhood Education or related degree, or a commitment to earning a nationally recognized CDA or CCP credential.
That education and experience allow our teachers to create engaging classrooms where toddlers are safely challenged, supported, and encouraged through purposeful learning—not simply supervised.
Families stay connected through our secure parent app with daily updates, photos, routines, activities, and important developmental moments.
And family involvement doesn’t stop there. EPC is proud of our active Parent Committee, giving parents a meaningful voice in our school community and opportunities to help create special events, traditions, and experiences for our children.
Educated teachers. Engaged parents. Strong leadership. That’s how we create an exceptional early learning community.
Fresh, Wholesome Meals Every Day
Through our partnership with ChildEats, children enjoy fresh-made breakfast, lunch, and snacks featuring all-natural and organic ingredients, no processed foods, and organic milk served daily.
We believe what children eat matters, too—and quality nutrition should be part of a high-quality childcare experience.

More Than Toddler Care
At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, we believe toddlers deserve more than traditional daycare.
Our boutique approach combines educated, experienced teachers, meaningful relationships, intentional learning, structured classrooms, and hands-on experiences that build confidence, independence, communication skills, and a genuine love of learning.
Most importantly, children are safe, genuinely known, supported, and excited to come to school each day.
Real Children. Real Classrooms. Real EPC.
And what you see on our website is actually us. We don’t use corporate stock photography, AI-generated children, or staged images to represent our program. The teachers, classrooms, children, and learning experiences you see are the real Elmhurst Premier.
We believe families deserve to see the program they’re actually choosing.
Real teachers. Real experiences. Exceptional early education. It’s the foundation for everything that comes next.
