Our Programs

At TARTTs Day Care Center, we’re committed to nurturing well-rounded development through engaging, age-appropriate programs. Our curriculum encourages exploration, creativity, and growth across multiple areas, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Learning About the World
We spark young children’s natural curiosity through daily sensory exploration. From books and sensory tables to songs and interactive activities, children experience a variety of sights, sounds, textures, and sensations. Our dedicated educators ensure each day is filled with joyful learning moments that encourage discovery and wonder.

Developing Motor Skills
Movement is essential for a toddler’s growth. Our program emphasizes activities that enhance both gross and fine motor skills, including tummy time, safe indoor exploration, and outdoor play. We also promote independence by teaching practical skills such as using buttons, zippers, and snaps, as well as learning to eat with utensils and drink from a cup.

Understanding Self and Others
Through imaginative play, storytelling, and carefully selected toys and instruments, children learn to understand themselves and their relationships with others. These activities foster creativity, empathy, and a sense of self-awareness while encouraging curiosity about the world around them.

Science & Math
We cultivate a love for exploration and problem-solving with science and math-based activities. Our educators guide children through experiments, observations, and hands-on play to build critical thinking skills. By encouraging curiosity and wonder, we help children develop confidence and a passion for lifelong learning.

The Arts
Art is a vital part of our curriculum, promoting creativity, self-expression, and innovation. From painting and crafting to exploring different art mediums, children are encouraged to take creative risks and express their unique ideas. These experiences help build skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and imaginative thinking, laying a strong foundation for future success.

Music & Dance
Music and dance are integral to life at TARTTs. Children engage in daily musical and movement activities, guided by both our educators and professional artists in residence. These experiences foster a sense of community and belonging while enhancing cognitive abilities like memory and spatial reasoning. With a focus on engaging all the senses, our music and dance program supports healthy growth and development.
