toddler/twos
When you choose Kiddie Karrasel Academy for your two-year-old, you can feel confident they're growing in a place built on trust and consistency. This is a big season of change for your child, and we're committed to making it feel steady, familiar, and full of joy.
THE KKA DIFFERENCE
Continuity of care
A consistent group of children and caregivers stays together as kids grow, so your child is always cared for by familiar, trusted faces rather than facing constant transitions.
Strong, trusting relationships
This stability allows deep bonds to form between children, families, and caregivers — your child always feels safe, secure, and known.
Real-time parent communication
Our app keeps you connected throughout the day with updates on meals, naps, activities, and milestones, so you always know what your child is up to.
Predictable, familiar environment
Staying with the same group and caregivers reduces anxiety and helps your two-year-old feel confident exploring, learning, and growing.
A true partnership
You'll always know exactly who is caring for your child, and open, ongoing communication — in person and through the app — keeps home and classroom connected.
"When our daughter started daycare, we were very nervous how she would adapt and interact with the caregivers. After some adjustment, she grew to love the place! Every weekday morning she gets so excited she grabs her shoes and coat to get out to daycare as fast as she can."
— Greg & Izzy
MORNING ACTIVITIES (9:00–11:30 AM): Circle time, sensory play, art, music, and outdoor exploration, along with a healthy morning snack.
ARRIVAL (7:00–9:00 AM): Warm greetings, a healthy breakfast for early arrivals, and a gentle transition into free play, table activities, or outdoor time.
A Glimpse of a Typical Day
MIDDAY ROUTINE: Lunch, bathroom routines, and a restful nap time in each child's own designated rest space.
AFTERNOON: A healthy snack followed by free choice play, caregiver-led activities, music, books, and outdoor time when weather permits.
LATE AFTERNOON & PICK-UP (until 5:30 PM): Quiet activities, stories, and casual play as families arrive.
Bright, spacious, purposeful classrooms: Our sunlit rooms exceed required space-per-child standards, giving toddlers plenty of room to move and explore — with dramatic play, sensory tables, an art studio, reading nooks, block areas, and nature exploration stations, every material chosen with toddler development in mind.
Music & movement: Music is woven throughout the day to support language, emotional regulation, and joy, alongside daily gross motor play and outdoor time for strong, healthy bodies.
Low ratios, degreed teachers: We maintain ratios that meet or exceed Iowa licensing and NAEYC standards, with teachers who hold degrees in early childhood education or related fields.
Purposeful weekly planning: Teachers plan intentionally each week around classroom goals, children's interests, and developmental needs, so learning is built into every part of the day.
