  • 3 & 4-year-old Half-Day program

    Social skills are emphasized in this class where colors, shapes and numbers (1-13) are introduce and reinforced. Fine motor skills are developed through many activities that encourage a pincer grasp: scissors, drawing, play-dough, etc. Mastering self-help skills and separating from their caregivers fosters independence and confidence.

  • Parent & Tot (age 1 by sept. 1)

    For children 12 months (walking) to age 2: Our weekly 2-hour session provides opportunities for new experiences without the child having to undergo separation from parent or caregiver.  Activities such as exploratory art, music, stories, play-dough and outside fun allow for the parent and child to explore these new activities together. Our parent-tot program serves as a great introduction to preschool for the whole family and helps with transitioning the child into our 2 year-old program.
