Providing a engaging and supportive environment for exploration, play, and emotional development
Guiding Toddlers with Love Through Every New Milestone
At Forest Hills Presbyterian Learning Center, our toddler program provides a nurturing and engaging first classroom experience where children are encouraged to explore, move, communicate, and grow with confidence. As a trusted Tampa childcare center, we understand that the toddler years are filled with important milestones, and we create a safe, loving environment where each child feels secure enough to discover the world around them.
Through consistent routines, hands-on learning, and faith-based guidance, toddlers begin building independence, forming friendships, and developing the skills that lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
Learning Through Exploration
Toddlers learn best by doing. In our faith-based early learning program, children are surrounded by opportunities to explore, create, and move throughout the day. Our classroom features engaging thematic learning centers, a sand and water discovery area, and a quiet space where children can rest, reset, and learn to manage their emotions.
Every experience is designed to support:
- Early language and communication
- Social and emotional development
- Cognitive growth
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Physical health and coordination
These activities help toddlers gain confidence, express themselves, and develop a joyful love for learning.
A Strong Developmental Foundation
We use The Creative Curriculum®, which includes 38 objectives for development and learning and aligns with Hillsborough County School Readiness goals. This research-based approach allows us to meet each child where they are while gently guiding them toward age-appropriate milestones.
During these important early years, children learn to:
- Build independence in daily routines
- Strengthen motor skills through active play
- Develop early language and word concepts
- Form secure, trusting relationships
To keep families connected to their child’s growth, we hold parent conferences twice a year to share progress, celebrate achievements, and set goals together.
A Caring, Faith-Filled Environment
Our toddler classrooms are rooted in patience, compassion, and faith. Children are guided with gentle redirection, encouragement, and loving support so they feel safe as they try new things and experience new emotions.
Daily routines help toddlers feel confident and secure, while simple Bible stories, songs, and prayer introduce them to God’s love in a way that is meaningful and age-appropriate.
Growing with Confidence
Families looking for toddler care in Tampa will find a program that focuses on the whole child—supporting early academics, social-emotional growth, physical development, and spiritual nurture. Each day is filled with movement, discovery, meaningful interaction, and joyful learning in a safe and familiar environment.
