Our Program
****We have a limited spaces left for August 2023 enrollment***** If interested, send an inquiry through our website or email to theurbantoddler@yahoo.com.
Our program is an outdoor art, music, and yoga program located in the heart of North Park. Our facility has a mini farm including a therapy dog Osito, free roam bunnies, Miss Owl the cat and our flock of chickens.
Enrichment Program
Our enrichment program is similar to a camp since we do not require contracts or prorated tuition. Once you have a space in our program, it is yours until you forfeit the space (See our tuition section for more details on pricing and tuition structure).
Our curriculum incorporates a mixture of art and nature in a way that promotes children’s discovery and increases learning opportunities. Through our various projects, our children learn about the world around them while also developing their motor skills.
Dedicated Staff
We have a staff of 2 credentialed teachers including the owner with a maximum of 12 children. We look for qualified teachers who have their BS in Child Development, are in a Master's or Ph.D. program, and looking for classroom experience during their pursuit of higher education.
Our teachers do move on into their long-term careers eventually but during their higher education pursuit, we benefit from their wide array of formal education and experience.
Enrollment is open August!
We have a limited amount of spaces remaining for August 2023 enrollment. Contact us via email at theurbantoddler@yahoo.com or through our website contact page.
Miss Julie - Owner
After an 18-year career in business management, I returned to college to obtain my early childhood teaching credentials to bring an outdoor nature based program to our community. Growing up in New Hampshire, our education always included being outside even in the snow. There is a great lack of outdoor programs here in San Diego yet we have the mildest climate in the country. Finding a program that was outside and included animals was my priority for what I wanted to give my daughter.
After not finding what I was looking for, I decided the only way to really obtain a well rounded program that features everything that made my own childhood so special was to create it myself. I consulted with credentialed teachers, spent time volunteering in special education classroom and consulted with a Child Psychologist to ensure this program is the very best our community offers.
