Welcome to Toddlers and Preschoolers!

As babies turn into toddlers and preschoolers, parents are often overwhelmed with questions and choices.

These are exciting years for both parent and child, as it seems that your toddler or preschooler is learning something new everyday!

Their independence is paramount as they master skills emotionally, physically and intellectually. The changes you are witness in these years are more than you will see than any other life stage.

Studies show that everything that your child experiences and is learning is interconnected - meaning the physical is related to the intellectual which is related to the emotional.

Relationship and language are very important during these years. 'RELATIONSHIP' refers to how they feel about themselves, their family, their friends and their environment. All these relationships are very important!

Your child is focused on gaining autonomy by gaining a sense of independence and feelings of competency.

You do make a difference in the life of your child!
