Belle Plaine Enrollment Now Open: Toddlers & Waddlers at Early Childhood Academy

Families in Belle Plaine, MN who are looking for high-quality child care and early learning opportunities now have exciting options! Early Childhood Academy is actively enrolling for our Toddler classrooms (24–33 months) as well as our brand-new Waddler program (ages 12–24 months).

These programs are designed to support children in their earliest stages of growth, giving them the skills, confidence, and routines they need to thrive as they move toward preschool and beyond.

Why Choose the Waddler Program (12–24 Months)?
The Waddler classroom at Early Childhood Academy is specially designed for children who are just beginning to explore the world with confidence. In this nurturing and structured environment, children:

• Develop motor and regulation skills to successfully engage with peers.
• Gain independence during routines, including mealtime.
• Transition to one nap per day, practice sleeping on a cot, and strengthen early sleep habits.
• Build early communication skills, supporting both language and social development.

This stage is all about exploration, consistency, and small steps toward independence—all within a safe, loving classroom community.

Bridging to the Toddler Classroom (24–33 Months)
As children graduate from the Waddler room, they’re ready to transition seamlessly into our Toddler program, which emphasizes even more independence and self-regulation.

In our Toddler classrooms, children learn:

• Potty training skills and bathroom routines.
• Self-regulation tools to help them handle emotions and social situations.
• Preschool readiness habits, such as following routines, practicing group activities, and gaining confidence in learning settings.

This program serves as a bridge to preschool, ensuring children have the foundational skills they’ll need for long-term academic and social success.

At Early Childhood Academy – Belle Plaine, our mission is to create environments where children can thrive at every stage. From learning to walk confidently and communicate basic needs in the Waddler room to gaining independence and preparing for preschool in the Toddler classroom, each step is carefully designed to set children up for success.
