There is no“ one-size-fits-all” approach to raising them. The information and tools ECFE offer during the toddler and two-year-old stage are designed to support families in creating their own ways to promote their children’ s growth and development.

Toddlers and‘ Twos’ classes are separating classes which means parents / caregivers spend half of the class time together with their child and half in parenting education while the child stays with an early childhood teacher.

Despite all this progress, they can also develop some challenging behaviors. Discuss how to navigate these complex years and gain a better understanding of their growth and development.
