Toddler Program
Building Confidence Through Play, Discovery, and Exploration
Our toddler program provides a safe, engaging environment where children begin developing independence, confidence, and a love of learning. Through hands-on activities, teacher-guided lesson plans, and meaningful relationships, we encourage every child to explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace.
Toddlers (1 Year Old)
As children become more independent, our Young Toddler classroom provides a safe and engaging environment where they can explore, learn, and grow. Through age-appropriate lesson plans, hands-on activities, music, books, sensory experiences, and play, our teachers encourage language development, social skills, confidence, and independence while supporting each child's unique pace of development.
Toddlers (2 Year Old)
In our two-year-old classroom, children begin learning through The Creative Curriculum®, a research-based program that encourages exploration, creativity, and school readiness through purposeful play. As confidence grows, children continue building communication skills, friendships, and independence every day.
Ms. Emily - Toddler 1s Teacher
Hello! My name is Emily Cromwell, and I'm one of the Toddler teachers for the one-year-olds here at Amore Preschool. I am from the White Mountain Apache Tribe in Arizona and am currently attending Arizona State University, where I am studying Biomedical Terminology. I am also honored to be the recipient of five Native American-centered scholarships.
Working at Amore Preschool has helped me discover my passion for working with young children. I love watching them grow physically, emotionally, and socially while supporting them through their everyday experiences. I enjoy introducing children to different ways of learning and helping them better understand both themselves and the world around them.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. I also prioritize my education as I work toward my dream of a career in the healthcare industry. I love learning about different cultures and meeting people from all walks of life. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me!
Ms. Parker - Toddler 2s Teacher
Hello! My name is Diane Parker, but the children know me as Ms. Parker. I'm originally from Whiteriver, Arizona, and I've been working with young children since I was a sophomore in high school. Before joining Amore Preschool, I taught children ages 2–5 at a preschool in my hometown.
I love creating a fun, welcoming classroom where children can learn, grow, and build confidence every day. My favorite color is pink, and outside of school I enjoy shopping, spending time with my family, and taking road trips.
I love getting to know each child and watching them learn new things every day.
Ms. Angela - Infant & Toddler Teacher
Hello, families! My name is Angela, and I'm originally from the Philippines. I've been living in Arizona for the past three years and am a proud mom of two boys under the age of three.
I started at Amore Preschool as a lunch staff member and assistant teacher, which gave me the opportunity to get to know the wonderful children in every classroom. Today, I work with both our infant and toddler programs, where I enjoy watching children grow, learn, and reach new milestones every day.
A few fun facts about me: I've hiked Mount Humphreys, the highest mountain in Arizona, and I've even scuba dived with whale sharks!
