Toddle Towne Alton Learning Center II is a year‑round childcare and early learning centre in Alton, Illinois, offering care for children from six weeks through school age with infant rooms, preschool classes, before/after school care and a summer day camp.
Toddle Towne Alton Learning Center II provides care for infants through school‑age children, with classroom groupings that span beginners (infants and young toddlers), preschool ages, and school‑age programs. The centre operates year‑round and maintains programs that include full‑ and half‑day preschool, before/after school care, and full‑day summer camp.
The centre uses a skills‑based Basic Skills Curriculum with monthly personal progress plans for each child; teachers track developmental milestones and use those plans to schedule classroom activities. Daily preschool schedules combine teacher‑directed, rotating activities with extended free‑choice time across distinct activity areas such as individual workspaces, a discovery area for cooperative play, a messy room for sensory and art activities, and a dramatic activities area for music and gross‑motor play. Daily activities and parent updates are distributed through the ProCare app.
Classrooms are arranged to support age‑appropriate care and learning, with self‑contained rooms for dependent children, sensory and art spaces, and larger areas for group music and physical activity. Hot lunches and snacks are provided; menus and typical meal patterns (morning snack with milk or juice, noon meal with milk/bread/butter, afternoon snack with juice) are shared with families. Staff include long‑tenured teachers; the centre reports many staff members with extended service at the programme.
The centre maintains a written COVID‑19 safety plan aligned with state child care guidance, with masking rules for people on the premises, enhanced sanitation routines for classrooms and playground equipment, and frequent cleaning of high‑touch surfaces. Enrichment offerings include STEAM‑focused activities and a Dynamite Day Camp that emphasizes hands‑on projects and social‑emotional learning for school‑age children.
