Our Emerging Toddler Program
The Emerging Toddler Program is unique to Creative Kids Academy, created for that exciting stage between infancy and toddlerhood. As children begin walking, talking, exploring, and discovering their independence, our teachers meet them right where they are with individualized support, hands-on play, and plenty of encouragement. It’s a space to grow at their own pace while building the confidence and skills for a happy transition into our Toddler Program.

Everyday Moments from our Emerging Toddler Classrooms
Staying Connected Throughout the Day
The Emerging Toddler years are full of exciting milestones, and we love sharing those moments with you. Through the Procare app, families receive real-time updates throughout the day, including meals, diaper changes, naps, activities, photos, and the everyday accomplishments that make this stage so special. Strong communication helps families stay connected and celebrate every new discovery together.
What Parents Love About Our Emerging Toddler Program
Our daughter just moved up to the emerging toddler room. We love how much she gets to go outside and how entertained she is! She is learning so much and loves her teachers!
Their development since joining the emerging toddler program at 15 months is mind-blowing to watch. They’re more socialized and learning in leaps and bounds.
Our child has developed so many positive attributes interacting with other children her age — including how to play kindly with others and trying to cheer them up when they feel sad.
Our child has been a lot more open to doing new things and open to playing with new friends. He is much more curious and has more wonder.
