One year old children are beginning to express themselves more than ever before. They love to interact with others and show interest the world around them. Language opportunities are extremely important at this stage in life. Monthly themes and daily activities keep the toddlers busy and excited, and promote many learning skills.

Early Education Station has a younger class of one year old children and an older class of one year old children in order to meet each child’s individual needs.  Because this age child develops and grows so rapidly, families and teachers are able to determine which classroom is more appropriate.
