About Us
WELCOME TO TODDLERTOWN
Toddlertown Early Learning Center is Jay County's only licensed childcare center. We have a capacity to hold 90 children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. Each classroom has a daily schedule and implements Frog Street Curriculum.
Baby Bungalow is home to our littlest peeps, welcoming infants from 6 weeks to 9 months. It's a cozy place filled with cuddles, first smiles, and important milestones. Cuddle Cove is filled with the sweetest little explorers, caring for children 9 months to 18 months as they learn to walk, talk, and discover the world around them. Happy Haven is where our energetic toddlers, ages 18 months to 30 months, keep us on our toes with their curiosity, growing independence, and big personalities. Little Lagoon is the newest addition to our center! This classroom is home to children 2½ to 3½ years old, providing the perfect bridge between toddlerhood and preschool with plenty of learning, creativity, and fun. Preschool Palace is bursting with 3½- to 5-year-old learners who are building skills, friendships, and confidence every day as they prepare for kindergarten and beyond. School Squad is home to our big kids before and after school, as well as all summer long. From homework help to exciting activities and adventures, there's always something fun happening in the Squad!
No matter their age, every child at Toddlertown is part of our family, where learning is fun and every day is an adventure!

A Day at Toddlertown
Every classroom has their own daily routine. These routines incorporate learning centers such as sensory, art, music, and dramatic play. Each classroom gets time outside every day on our state-of-the-art playground! Being in Indiana, the weather can be too hot or too cold for little bodies. This is where we have a 2,300 square foot indoor recreational room.
But wait, there's more!
We at Toddlertown know that growing minds need lots of nutritious food. We provide two snacks, breakfast, and a hot lunch every day for every child. Our menus are on a 5-week rotation, so lunches are not duplicated every week. Our cook makes delicious meals that have the children asking for seconds!
Toddlertown also accepts CCDF vouchers to help those families in need.
