Where Little Explorers
Become Big Thinkers

The toddler years are one of the most explosive periods of human development. Between 16 and 24 months, children go from first words to full sentences, from wobbly steps to confident running — and KALE's Toddler Services room is built around every one of those leaps.

With a 1:5 teacher-to-toddler ratio, our educators have the time and space to follow each child's individual pace — supporting language, motor skills, social development, and early curiosity with warmth and intention every day.

Our toddler classroom is a carefully prepared environment — low shelves with rotating hands-on materials, movement spaces, sensory stations, books, music, and outdoor play — all designed to say YES to your toddler's natural drive to explore.

Everything Your Toddler Needs to Thrive

KALE's toddler program is designed around the science of early childhood development — not babysitting.

🗣️

Language Development

Songs, stories, conversations, and vocabulary-rich routines — our educators talk WITH toddlers all day long to build language fast.

🏃

Gross Motor Play

Running, climbing, jumping, and dancing — daily outdoor play and movement breaks support physical development and regulation.

Fine Motor Activities

Puzzles, playdough, painting, pouring, and building — hands-on activities that build the small motor skills needed for writing later.

🍽️

CACFP Meals Included

Breakfast, lunch & afternoon snack every day through the USDA CACFP program — at no extra charge. Nutritious, age-appropriate meals.

📸

Brightwheel Updates

Real-time photos, meal logs, nap times, diaper changes, and milestone notes sent straight to your phone throughout the day.

🎵

Music & Movement

Daily music, rhythm, and movement activities that build coordination, memory, and early math and language foundations.

👫

Social-Emotional Learning

Learning to share, wait, express feelings, and connect with peers — the emotional intelligence skills that matter most.

Open 6 AM – 6 PM

Extended hours built for working parents, healthcare workers, military families, and shift workers across Chesterfield County VA.

💵

CCAP & Subsidies Accepted

CCAP, VCAP, military assistance, and employer benefits accepted. Many families pay $0. Quality toddler care for every income.
