Children Playing

Waddlers (12 months- 18 months)

This room is the perfect transition from infants to toddlers. Your child will learn to walk and run, sit on chairs at the table for meals and activities and sleep on cots.

Our Waddler teachers and aides have extensive childcare experience and are certified in CPR and First Aid. When it comes to taking care of your little one, our staff is equipped with love, patience and childcare experience. From morning drop-off to evening pick-up, we promise to meet your child’s needs and keep them active and engaged.

Our Waddler schedule includes:

  • Music Time
  • Art Projects (Coloring, Painting, etc.)
  • Indoor and Outdoor Playtime
  • Sign Language
  • Numbers, Letters, Shapes, and Colors
  • Circle Time
  • Naptime
  • Caring Interaction

Daily activities focus on sharing, using words, active moving and interaction with peers and teachers. Our goal is to ready your waddler for toddlers by promoting communication, sharing and basic life skills.

Daily Connect

The Dawn of Discovery Waddler classroom is equipped with the Daily Connect smartphone app to communicate with parents throughout the day. Our staff will keep track of your little one’s eating, sleeping and diaper-changing schedule and send you text messages and photo updates.

My son is 5 months old and has been attending Dawn of Discovery child care since he was 3 months. He absolutely loves going to daycare every day and lights up when he sees his teachers! Everyone that works there is so kind and caring. I never have to worry about the care my son is getting and I always look forward to seeing his adorable artwork!!! Such an amazing place! We are so blessed to have such an incredible group of ladies caring for our boy!
