In our Toddler Class, the focus is on the development of language and communication, gross and fine motor skills, learning through play, classroom routines, and social-emotional and early learning skills.

 


Children enjoy daily free play, circle time, child-led art, sensory play, stories, songs, finger plays, and create “make and take” art projects. Little ones have Music and Movement class once a week and go outdoors on our toddler-friendly playground daily as weather permits.

 


Classroom parents will provide a “nut-free” mid-morning snack for the whole class on a rotational basis. Children arrive at preschool with a tote bag with a change of clothing or diapers, and lunchbox filled with a light "nut-free" lunch and water bottle. **Children must be able to walk and stay awake during the school day.

 


Parent-Teacher conferences will be held twice year. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to meet with the teachers and communicate questions or concerns throughout the year.

 


This class meets three days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 am-1:00 pm. Class size is limited to ten students with two teachers, with flexibility based on classroom needs.
 

 

Parents will walk the children to the playground or classroom at 9:30AM, weather dependent. Children will be also picked up from the playground or classroom at 1:00PM.

 

We have several extra care options staffed by our teachers: Parent’s Morning Out are every Monday and Friday, daily Rooster Club Play Group from 8:30AM–9:30AM, and daily StayNPlay, from 1PM-2PM.
