Q: What's the difference between toddler programs and twos programs?

Toddler programs typically serve children 12-24 months, while twos programs are designed for 2-3 year olds.

Q: Does my child need to be potty trained?

Most toddler and twos programs do not require potty training for enrollment. Many programs begin working on potty training readiness with 2-year-olds.
