Focus in the Explorer Classroom
In our Dublin, OH childcare for 1.5 to 2-year-olds, your child is encouraged to explore and discover new ways of learning. Explorers focus on expanding their vocabulary, talking in short sentences, recognizing the alphabet by sight, counting to 20, and recognizing basic shapes, colors, and different types of weather. Teachers use hands-on activities to make learning fun. We use weekly themes to keep learning exciting while introducing new concepts to your toddler.
