WONDERFUL WOBBLERS 12-18 Months

Bright Imaginations Wobbler rooms are unique in design.  Our goals are to constantly provide the best care with each child’s developmental needs in mind. The wobbler room is dedicated to children 12-18 months. In most cases children at this age have developmentally aged-out of the infant room, however, may not be ready to interact with older one-year-olds. In this room, we focus on strengthening independence, balance, self-help skills, social skills and cognitive development.
