Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle toddler tantrums and challenging behavior?

We understand that tantrums are a normal part of toddler development as they learn to express big feelings with limited vocabulary. Our caregivers use positive guidance techniques, offer appropriate choices, and help children identify their emotions while maintaining consistent, gentle boundaries.


Will you support potty training if we start at home?

Absolutely! We partner with families who are ready to begin potty training, typically around 18-24 months when children show readiness signs. We follow your home routine and celebrate every success while maintaining patience during the learning process.

How do you help with separation anxiety?

Separation anxiety is very common and healthy at this age. We use consistent routines, comfort objects, quick goodbyes, and engaging activities to help your toddler feel secure. Most children adapt within a few days to a few weeks with our proven strategies.

What if my toddler isn't talking much yet?

Language development varies greatly among toddlers. We use proven techniques like narrating activities, singing songs, reading interactive books, and encouraging communication through gestures and sounds. We'll keep you informed of their progress and can discuss any concerns together.

How do you encourage independence without frustrating my child?

We celebrate every "me do it" attempt while providing patient support when needed. Our environment is set up for toddler success with low sinks, accessible materials, and activities that build confidence through manageable challenges.

We’re dedicated to nurturing your child’s growth and development. Thank you for trusting us to be part of their journey. Stay connected for updates, tips, and more!
