Toddlers
Our Toddler Program is designed to help children develop in the context of responsive, consistent, and nurturing relationships. The roots of socialization start with the guidance and care a child receives from important caregivers. We take this role seriously. The program includes music, arts and crafts, body movement, puppetry, dramatic play, colors, shapes, and other age-appropriate learning experiences.
Two Year Old
Like the Toddler Program, our 2 Year Old Program is designed to encourage social and emotional growth, with a focus on emerging language skills. Every month we introduce different themes and related activities including music, instruments, puppetry, body movement, arts and crafts, dramatic play, block play, number concepts, colors, shapes, science, and more. Children do not need to be potty-trained. As an extension of your home, we’re here to help guide your child through this important life stage.

FAQs About Malibu Drop-In Daycares
-
What is a drop-in daycare?

How does drop-in daycare work
- For most drop-in daycare programs, you need to register your child in advance. Then, once you are enrolled, you can 'drop-in' when you need to. You may need to call ahead each day to ensure there is availability or book your spot online. Drop-in daycares are great when your regular childcare falls through or if you just need a few hours of care here and there.
