Preschool Programs
2’s Preschool Program
This class, for children age 2, serves as a pre-cursor for our 3’s and 4’s preschool classes. 2’s is a helpful way for your child to form a sense of independence. This is often the first time the child will be away from Mom, Dad, or Caregiver, so it offers a warm, nurturing classroom setting filled with creative play, songs, ‘fingerplays,’ art, gym time, and snack. Please note: Parent or Caregiver must be available to return to class, for any necessary toileting accidents. Your child MUST be 2 by the start date of the program-no exceptions. The staff is not responsible for diaper changes, however, if potty training is in progress, the staff will work with the child and family for success. Please note: January enrollment available to families whose child turns 2 on or by January 1, 2016, no exceptions, pending availability.
