Toddler Daycare Services: WHERE FUN AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION COLLIDE
Toddlers are at such an incredible time in their lives! Toddlers are learning and developing at an incredible rate, and at Apple Tree Orchard Preschool & Childcare we capitalize on these years of rapid development with our activities designed to strengthen your child’s skills and grow their self-esteem. In addition to building on the skills your child is naturally beginning to pick up during this time in their lives, children who are enrolled in a toddler daycare see incredible long-lasting benefits socially, economically, and academically! They get a smoother transition into kindergarten because we get them used to the structured environment and teach them early that learning is fun!

How to Choose a Daycare for Your Infant or Toddler
We understand how it can be difficult to leave your child in the care of another. Concerns over safety, program philosophy, and facility features are common while looking for a child daycare. There are seemingly endless questions to ask when it comes to choosing the best daycare center for you and your child—at Apple Tree Orchard we welcome all of these questions and more. We want to help you feel peace of mind knowing that your child is receiving the best care possible from passionate caregivers that uphold a philosophy that aligns with your values as a parent.
Finding the right family childcare situation for you means examining your priorities and knowing what you can’t live without when deciding on daycare enrollment. For example, you probably expect daycare staff workers to undergo background checks. You want a daycare that implements safety measures to protect children from diseases and from other dangers.
Here are a few of our suggestions for what to look for when choosing a daycare for your infant or toddler:
Commitment to Safety
At any daycare, the number one concern should be the safety of the children in their care. At Apple Tree Orchard, we want you to know that your child is in good hands. We provide key fob security access so only staff and parents have unrestricted access to our daycare facilities. We also ensure that children play, eat, and sleep in environments that uphold age-specific safety standards—for example, each child will only have access to toys that are appropriate for their age group. Just so you can feel doubly certain your child is in a safe environment throughout the day, we offer internet camera access so parents can view the interior of the daycare center at any time.
In addition to the standard protections and safety measures taken at our childcare centers, we have implemented health precautions due to Covid-19. For instance, if we suspect a child is sick after a visual inspection of the child, we will perform a temperature check and send the child home if they have any symptoms of illness. When appropriate, we perform temperature screenings of children and staff to combat the spread of the coronavirus. We limit physical contact and use personal protective equipment, such as gloves, when necessary. Physical barriers separate children in different age groups. We contact the legal guardians of children who don’t seem well right away. We have always been sticklers for a clean environment, but we have stepped up cleaning and disinfecting procedures as well. The education of young children is important to us, but so is their health and safety.
Qualified & Passionate Caregivers
At Apple Tree Orchard we take pride in our incredible, passionate, and well-qualified caregivers. All of our team members are certified and trained to provide engaging and safe childcare at our infant daycare and toddler daycare centers. We know that all parents have different preferences when it comes to child care, some preferring nannies or relatives. But we believe that we can meet any family’s needs because we have some of the best people in child care who love kids and want to see them grow physically, emotionally, and academically.
Philosophy of Care
Our philosophy of care is what sets our daycare center apart from others you may find in the Omaha area. We believe in the importance of creating a daycare environment where children can build self-confidence, let their imagination soar, grow their social skills, stay active and healthy, and make learning fun.
