The toddler years are a whirlwind of wonder, and we love every minute of it. Our three toddler classrooms are designed to keep curious minds engaged with age-appropriate challenges, hands-on materials, and plenty of space to move.
We follow a consistent daily schedule that gives toddlers the predictability they need to feel secure, while building in flexibility for spontaneous learning moments. Parents stay connected via the Playground app with daily photos, nap logs, and activity updates.
Each classroom level is thoughtfully designed for where a child is developmentally, so they’re always challenged at just the right level, never too little or too much. The transition between Toddler 1, 2, and 3 happens when your child is ready, not on a fixed timeline.
We build on the comforting routines of infant care to help young children ease into structured routines as they grow into confident learners.

From Our Families
What Toddler Families Say
Our toddler has been attending 1080 Learning Center for the last year, and it has been a great experience. The staff are very accommodating, and our daughter clearly loves her teachers. We're routinely surprised/jealous of all the little songs, dances, skills and crafts that she gets up to when we're not around. On top of it, the center is very convenient to living or working in central Denver. I'd recommend to any of our friends.
We have two kids at 1080. We have been at other schools before and in comparison have been blown away by 1080's kindness, warmth, and professionalism. They are clear and communicative and every teacher is amazing! Big shoutout to Kelly and Jodi too for keeping things going on the back end. Best place ever!
We have been very happy with the care the facility and teachers provide for our baby at 1080. He started when he was 4 months old and he is now 8 months and thriving. The teachers do a great job of providing thorough details via the app of his daily schedule while there! They also do cute artistic activities with the babies and send you home with very cute projects 🙂 Thank you 1080!
