Toddler Class Program Overview (Age 2.5+)
Tuesdays & Thursdays | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Welcome to our Toddler Class, a warm and welcoming space for our youngest learners! Designed specifically for children starting at 2.5 years old, this program is the perfect gentle introduction to preschool.
Program Highlights:
No Potty Training Required: We understand that every child develops at their own pace. Diapers and pull-ups are welcome!
Low Teacher-to-Child Ratio: Our small class size ensures personalized attention, allowing us to build deep connections with each child and support their individual needs.
Play-Based Learning: Through open-ended play, music, movement, sensory exploration, and hands-on activities, children learn about their world in the most natural and joyful way.
Focus on Social-Emotional Growth: We help children develop trust, independence, empathy, and confidence. Building relationships—with peers and nurturing teachers—is at the heart of everything we do.
Gentle Transitions: Our three-hour program provides just the right amount of time for toddlers to begin separating from caregivers, explore a new environment, and build a consistent routine.
Preschool
Our Preschool Program is designed for children ages 3 to 5, providing a rich, engaging, and developmentally appropriate foundation for early learning. This is a place where children are encouraged to wonder, explore, and grow—at their own pace, in their own way.
Program Highlights:
Meaningful Teacher-Child Relationships: Our teachers take the time to truly know each child—building trust, offering encouragement, and supporting their unique interests, strengths, and emotions. These strong relationships form the heart of our classroom community.
Play-Based, Child-Centered Learning: We follow a hands-on, play-based approach that encourages creativity, independence, and collaboration. Focus on Social-Emotional Intelligence: Children learn how to manage emotions, express themselves, problem-solve, and build friendships through daily experiences and gentle guidance.
Kindergarten Readiness: Our research-based curriculum introduces early literacy, math, science, and fine motor skills through playful, meaningful activities that build confidence and readiness for the next step.
