A perfect program for those toddlers not quite ready for nursery school, but who are ready to experience much of the socialization, learning and activities associated with pre-school.   Children learn to make choices, solve problems follow a schedule and work in groups while participating in creative art activities, story-telling and music and movement.  Music and dance special programs are offered each week in the classroom or dance studio and outdoor activities take place in our playgrounds and gymnasium. As in our nursery school program, activities are hands-on and exploratory with an emphasis on children developing friendships along with cognitive skills.  We provide opportunities to support language and literacy, to develop cognitive skills in mathematics and science, for gross and fine motor development and for social and emotional development.
 
Two year olds attend two days per week with caregivers present until toddlers are ready to separate. This program is staffed by a teacher and assistant teacher along with our music and dance specialists.
