Programs

At El Rio Daycare, we offer age-appropriate programs designed to nurture your child’s growth from infancy through early school years. Whether your little one is just beginning to explore the world or needs a safe and fun place to go after school, we’re here with loving care and a playful learning environment every step of the way.

Toddlers (1 – 2 years)

Toddlers are always on the move—and so are we! Our toddler program encourages exploration through play, music, art, and storytime. We support language growth, independence, and social skills through fun, hands-on experiences every day.

Preschool (3 – 5 years)

Our preschool program blends learning and play to help your child build early literacy, math, motor, and social-emotional skills. Children participate in group activities, creative art projects, storytelling, and science exploration—all while building confidence and friendships that last.

After-School Care (5 – 8 years)

We provide a fun, structured environment for school-age children in the afternoons. Kids can relax, get help with homework, enjoy a healthy snack, and participate in games, outdoor play, and creative enrichment activities.
