Where Toddlers Discover, Play, and Grow
The toddler years (ages 1–3) are a period of rapid language growth, emerging independence, and boundless curiosity. Our toddler classrooms are specifically designed to support every milestone of this critical developmental stage.

Why Parents Choose LEA for Toddler Care
Toddler Program FAQs
What ages does the toddler program serve?
Our toddler program serves children ages 1–3 years. Children typically move from the infant room around 12 months and transition to preschool around 3 years.
What is your toddler-to-staff ratio?
We maintain a 1:6 toddler-to-teacher ratio in our toddler rooms, exceeding NJ DCF minimum requirements for this age group.
Is potty training required to enter the toddler program?
No. We support potty training as children show readiness, working closely with families on timing and approach. Diapers and pull-ups are fine throughout the toddler program.
What does a typical day look like for toddlers?
Toddlers follow a predictable daily rhythm: morning circle, learning centers (sensory, art, dramatic play, blocks), outdoor time, lunch, nap, afternoon activities, and storytime before pickup.
Do you accept the NJ childcare subsidy for toddler care?
Yes. LEA accepts the NJ DFD childcare voucher at both Edison and Roselle locations for toddler enrollment.
What curriculum do you use for toddlers?
We use a play-based curriculum aligned with NJ Early Learning Standards, focusing on language development, social-emotional skills, motor development, and early STEM concepts through sensory exploration.
How do you communicate with toddler parents?
Daily reports, posted weekly newsletters, and direct communication with your child's primary teacher. We hold periodic parent-teacher conferences to discuss developmental progress.
