Toddlers Unlimited was founded in April 1995 by Angela de la Cruz Palacio and Barbara Server Veloso, initially offering a summer playgroup for nine children between the ages of 1 to 2 ½ years at Barbara's residence in Ayala Alabang Village.
In July 1999, Toddlers Unlimited opened a Learning Center at the 4th Level of Festival Supermall, Filinvest Corporate City, Alabang. On June 2004, Toddlers Unlimited opens its second branch in Makati. It is located on the 7th floor of ALPAP I Building L.P. Leviste Street (formerly Alfaro Street), Salcedo Village, Makati City. Despite the building setting, Toddlers Unlimited provides a very homey environment for children. In comparison to other pre-schools in the Philippines that focus on academics, Toddlers Unlimited is appreciated because of its very relaxed atmosphere. It also encourages the active involvement of parents, as they are an integral part of their child's development.
Toddlers Unlimited has experienced steady growth throughout the years due largely to the support of their clients and peers. With a successful program that integrates the physical, social, cognitive and emotional development of children, we have earned the respect of parents and educators alike. The parents, some of whom are teachers from the UK, Germany, United States and Japan, are very pleased with the school's program and their children's progress. Meanwhile, educators from neighboring schools continue to recommend Toddlers Unlimited to parents looking for a reputable nursery school for their toddlers. Today, both branches of Toddlers Unlimited has grown to a student population of almost a hundred children, serving local children and children of expatriate families. Toddlers Unlimited is currently staffed by a total of 14 teachers who are dedicated to the intellectual, social and emotional development of the young children under their care. They are gentle, loving and sincere. Toddlers Unlimited also employs a highly motivated staff of 4 teacher aides and a reception and security personnel. The Toddlers Unlimited Learning Center currently offers toddler classes for 1- and 2-year olds, preschool classes for 3- and 5-year olds, as well as a day-care center for children at the Makati Branch. We have also offered Arts and Craft Classes, Oil Painting classes for older children and adults, Saturday Toddler Playgroups, Science Workshops, Cooking for Kids, Storytelling Sessions, as well as parent and yaya seminars.
In July 2007, Toddlers Unlimited began offering the Galileo Enrichment Learning Program. It is an after school enrichment program that aims to improve the Math and English skills of students from Nursery (3 years old) to Grade 6. Galileo will be offered in the Makati branch by the summer of 2008.

Encouraged by the positive feedback from parents, they continued offering toddler classes and gradually increased their enrollment, ending with 70 students by May 1999.
Our aim is not simply to prepare children for big schools but to form minds that will be critical, that would question and not just accept everything that is presented to them. Which is why we encourage children to explore, discover, and come up with their own answers rather than give responses learned from rote or paper & pencil drills.
