A Joyful Step Into Toddlerhood
The Wobbler Program at Fernridge Child Development Center offers a warm, encouraging environment where children aged 1 to 2 years take their first steps toward independence. During this exciting stage, toddlers are learning to walk, talk, explore, and express themselves — and our teachers are there every step of the way. We blend structure and freedom, giving children the space to discover while maintaining the consistency and comfort they still need at this age.
In our wobbler daycare classroom, little ones engage in sensory play, music, art, and outdoor exploration that stimulate curiosity and imagination. Every day is filled with joyful moments — first words, new friendships, and tiny triumphs that make parents proud. Our teachers guide children through these milestones with patience and enthusiasm, creating an atmosphere where learning feels natural and fun.

How We Support Growing Toddlers
Our wobbler care program in Veneta bridges the gentle nurturing of infancy with the independence of the toddler stage. This is a time of exploration, big emotions, and fast learning — so our teachers provide steady guidance, affection, and plenty of hands-on experiences. Each child’s day includes stories, songs, small-group activities, and open play that develop coordination, communication, and social skills.

Movement & Motor Development
As toddlers learn to balance, climb, and run, movement becomes a joyful part of each day. Our classroom and playground are designed with safety and exploration in mind, featuring soft play areas, push toys, and age-appropriate climbing structures. Teachers encourage fine- and gross-motor growth through stacking blocks, dancing, and simple obstacle courses — helping children strengthen muscles and build confidence in every step.

Language & Early Communication
Between ages 1 and 2, language blossoms. Teachers use songs, short stories, and simple conversations to help toddlers learn new words and express their needs. By naming objects, describing actions, and listening attentively, our caregivers turn everyday interactions into teachable moments. These rich language experiences lay the groundwork for reading and social communication later on.

Emotional Development & Social Play
Toddlers begin discovering emotions and relationships, so we focus on helping them recognize feelings and share positively with others. Teachers model empathy and kindness, using gentle redirection and encouragement to guide behavior. Group activities and parallel play teach cooperation and respect, while hugs, high-fives, and smiles build the trust that every child deserves.

Routine & Consistency
Predictable routines give toddlers a sense of comfort and control. Our daily schedule includes meals, naps, playtime, and outdoor exploration balanced with calm transitions. Teachers communicate closely with families to align routines at home and school, ensuring smooth, happy days for children and peace of mind for parents

Safe and Stimulating Environment
Our wobbler classroom is bright, clean, and designed for active learners. Safety is our priority — from child-sized furniture and soft flooring to vigilant supervision and secure outdoor play areas. We exceed state licensing standards and maintain small group sizes so every child receives attentive, loving care.

Growing Together With Families
We believe the best care happens when teachers and families work hand in hand. Daily communication keeps parents connected to their child’s progress — from first words to creative art projects. Our family-owned child care center has served Veneta families for nearly two decades, and we take pride in being a trusted partner in every child’s early development. Parents appreciate our open-door policy, welcoming environment, and genuine commitment to seeing each child thrive.
