Discovery | 13 - 18 Months | Serving Defiance & Van Wert, OH
Your Little One Learns In A Safe & Secure Environment
Your child benefits from CPR-trained staff and a fenced playground that provide a first layer of safety indoors and out. Restricted access controls limit who gains entry to the building while internal-use-only security cameras continually monitor the premises.
Play-Focused, Child-Led Learning For Daily Discovery
Your toddler learns best through play, and there is plenty of play in the Discovery class. Children lead their own learning, engaging in open-ended play that follows their individual interests and passions.
Social-Emotional Learning Now For Strong Relationships Later
In Discovery, your child learns the basics of self-regulation, which is the starting point toward social-emotional mastery. Teachers model naming and managing their feelings and emotions and use redirection to focus on good classroom behavior.
Highly-Educated Teachers Provide Quality Early Learning
Your child’s teachers are the most educated in Defiance, which gives children a leg up not only in academics but in mood, behavior, enthusiasm, social skills, and life skill development—so important for “do it myself” toddlers!
Low Teacher-Student Ratios Allow Individualized Instruction
At a 1:5 teacher-to-student ratio, your child has fewer children in their classroom than the state requires. Low ratios allow your child’s teacher the time to know them and how best to meet their unique and individual needs.
A Blended Curriculum Means A Diverse Learning Environment
Toddlers learn with the play-based Learning Beyond Paper™ curriculum, drawing influence from the Montessori method, Nature/Forest School, and weekly STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) activities for holistic education.
Your Whole Family Feels Welcome With Festive Events & Seasonal Celebrations!
Yoga, STEAM, & More Let Your Child Discover New Passions
All-inclusive enrichments spice up your child’s day! Baby signing continues to aid communication, yoga teaches mindfulness, and music, art, and dance bring joy and self-expression. Gardening and STEAM activities promote curiosity and teach caring for other living things.
Outdoor Play Every Day Keeps Your Child Moving
Your toddler loves getting out and exploring the large outdoor play space! They have their own area away from the bigger kids where they can toddle, wobble, walk, and run without obstacles. Age-appropriate toys and equipment make the outdoors exciting.
All-Inclusive Meals & Snacks Fuel Busy, Growing Toddlers
An onsite cook prepares healthy daily breakfasts, lunches, and snacks that cater to your child’s allergies, sensitivities, and unique dietary needs. All meals comply with the state CACFP food program guidelines, and toddlers begin eating with utensils and drinking from cups!
The Procare® App Provides Support & Communication
The Procare® app integrates seamlessly with Learning Beyond Paper™ for real-time updates and all your communication needs in one convenient location. Onsite therapies for your child and parent education classes mean the whole family gets the support they need.
A Deep Clean Keeps Your Child Healthy
Air purifiers in your child’s classroom keep airborne germs to a minimum while attentive staff clean and sanitize daily to protect everyone’s health. Electrostatic sprayers take care of hard-to-reach spaces, soft toys, and bedding.
