Toddler Child Care Program
The Wonderland Preschool Toddler Program is a play based program which focuses on the child's language skills, social skills, and self-help skills as well as providing each child with the foundation for a positive self-image. The program uses developmentally appropriate practices incorporating structures and unstructured activities and positive discipline techniques to reach these goals.
