Flamingos

12 to 23 months

When your little Flamingo is standing tall but not quite ready to fly with the toddlers, they'll be welcomed into our Transition room. They receive the same responsive, loving care as our Owlets with more space to spread their wings. Creative Curriculum Gold assessments help our educators know when the time is right for each child to move forward.
