Why a Special Program for Toddlers?

Toddlers have special needs not currently met in many child care settings. While day care facilities are allowed to accept these young children, the children themselves are often not ready for the complexity and stimulation of a large day care center.  They are often not physically mature enough to meet the requirement of being toilet-trained, but many are ready for the challenges and experiences beyond what is provided in family day care homes.
