Toddlers

Our two toddler rooms are designed to foster each child’s unique development while providing the same loving care they receive at home. As toddlers begin to settle into routines and develop their own personalities, we encourage exploration, movement, and environmental awareness.

Each open, airy classroom features inviting play areas, radiant heated floors for comfort, and high-quality Community Playthings furnishings—offering the safest, LEED-certified design available. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices includes organic supplies and materials.

Elmhurst Premier Childcare has partnered with ChildEats catering is a family-owned and operated team of food professionals on a mission to deliver fresh, organic, and locally sourced meals to the next generation.

With no processed foods, our children enjoy farm-to-table, freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks, along with organic milk served daily at lunch. This commitment to clean, nourishing food gives our families peace of mind.

At Elmhurst Premier Childcare, we know how important it is for parents to feel connected throughout the day. We use Playground to keep parents informed in real-time about their child’s experiences, behavior, and milestones. Teachers send instant updates—including photos—whenever information is entered, ensuring you stay connected and involved in your child’s daily adventures.

Our updates often highlight developmental progress and day-to-day activities, giving you insight into your child’s growth. We also offer parent-teacher conferences and encourage personal phone calls for more in-depth conversations about your child’s learning journey.

Our play-based yet comprehensive STEAM curriculum inspires even our youngest learners to engage, have fun, and build lasting relationships. In our language-rich environment, toddlers gain experience in early language, math, social skills, physical growth, and sensory development through daily routines and meaningful activities.

Our compassionate teachers carefully plan activities that nurture each child’s growth while using observation and assessment to help every toddler reach their fullest potential.

Toddlers explore various centers, engage in art, fine motor, and block play, practice proper handwashing, learn to speak kindly and with manners, and enjoy circle time with music and stories. Outdoor play on our beautiful playground, making friends, and receiving lots of love from teachers all contribute to a joyful learning experience.

All children will have a specialized music class from Music Together in Elmhurst.   We know children will develop a love for music that can be nurtured indefinitely.
