12 - 18 months (1 adult to 5 children):

Just like their names, these little Crickets are hopping all over the place.  Our youngest Toddlers are given plenty of space to develop those new gross motor skills.  The Cricket room kicks off our academic program.  Starting with our young one’s, each class works through lesson plans based on a weekly theme.
