Toddler Time Program
Learn, Share, Grow
Philosophy
At DCP, we believe that hands are key to learning, so we create a classroom where children can explore and grow. Kids choose from a range of thoughtfully prepared materials.
Program Details
At DCP, our Toddler Time program is rooted in the belief that even our youngest learners grow best through meaningful play and exploration. Toddlers learn with their whole bodies—through touching, moving, observing, and interacting with the world around them. During Toddler Time, children build early social skills, strengthen motor development, begin practicing language, and learn to navigate emotions in a safe and nurturing setting.
Enrollment
Offered once a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday from 9:30 to 11:30 am, each session is limited to 7 children, and kids must be 2 years old by August 1st to enroll.
Our program runs for 32 weeks during the school year from September to May, with breaks for Fall, Winter, and Spring holidays, aligning with the Delaware City Schools calendar. We do not offer wraparound or summer care. Because DCP does not have rolling enrollment, we do not accept new registrations after early October to keep our classes consistent and cohesive. DCP does not have a provider agreement with Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC).
