Explore and Discover - Toddlers

As you tour West County Day School you will see that ocean life is our theme. Each one of our classrooms is named for a fish in the ocean.

Puffer Fish
This room cares for our young toddlers, age 9 months through 16 months. Eight children and two teachers keep the room busy and challenging. The toddlers begin to transition into the same schedule, with mealtimes together and a single, long afternoon nap.

Clown Fish
Children in this toddler room range between the ages 16 months and
24 months. The ratio remains 1:4, with 8 children and 2 teachers.
Children are provided with a predictable schedule and daily routines.  

Transitions
Children transition to the next age group on the first Monday after
August 15th. Children transition as a group at one time, rather than
individually. This assures that they have familiar friends around them
as they begin in a new environment with new teachers. Some teachers
loop with their children, moving into the next age group with them.
