Frequently Asked Questions.

Definitely! Daycare isn’t just about supervision; it’s a great place for your little one to start learning how to interact with others their age and start picking up essential life skills. At our center, toddlers thrive as they explore, play, and learn in a structured setting that’s just right for their developmental stage.

A typical toddler classroom is filled with educational toys, puzzles, blocks, and art supplies. Here, your child will learn numbers and letters through interactive play and structured activities that also focus on social skills like sharing and teamwork. We balance cognitive development with physical and social growth, creating a holistic learning environment that feels like a second home.

A robust toddler lesson plan should cover a variety of activities that stimulate physical, cognitive, and social development. At Bright Stars CDC, our lesson plans include interactive storytelling, puzzles to enhance problem-solving skills, and group activities that foster social skills. We also emphasize sensory play to aid in the development of tactile skills and understanding of the world.

Deciding when to start daycare can vary for each family, but many child development experts recommend beginning between 12 to 36 months as it aligns beautifully with key stages of your child’s social and emotional growth. This early start helps toddlers get used to being around other children and adults, which is fantastic for their social and emotional growth.

It’s natural to worry about attachment, but let me assure you, there’s no need for concern when dealing with high-quality daycare programs. At Bright Stars CDC, our dedicated educators focus on creating secure, loving connections with every child. This consistent, caring approach ensures that each child feels completely safe and cherished, fostering healthy emotional development while away from home.

Children typically start showing interest in letters around two to three years old. We introduce the alphabet in a playful and engaging way, using activities that make learning a natural part of their daily fun. By the time they move up to preschool, many are already familiar with their ABCs and eager to learn more.

According to CDC guidelines, toddler classrooms should maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio to ensure personalized attention and safety. We keep our numbers lower than many places to make sure each child gets plenty of attention. While guidelines might allow for more, we find smaller groups are best for learning and care. It means more one-on-one time for your child, and a quieter, calmer environment where they can really flourish.
