The two-year-olds meet either Tuesdays and Wednesdays or Thursdays and Fridays, 9:30am – noon, with a maximum of 8 children. The basic goals of the two-year-old program are to encourage the intellectual growth of each child, help each child develop socially, support and encourage the tremendous growth in physical abilities experienced by twos, and encourage mastery of the environment—which leads to self-confidence and emotional growth. During the year, the play progresses from parallel play, to play that is interactive with classmates.

The three-year-olds meet Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 9:30am – 1:00pm, with a maximum of 15 children. The teacher sets up a variety of activities, which encourage children to explore and experiment in social situations, math skills, science procedures, social studies, art materials, and language arts development. They acquire physical growth, increase understanding, and gain knowledge in a safe and supportive environment. Helping the children to learn communication and social skills is our most important goal.

The four-year-olds meet Mondays through Thursdays, 9:30am – 1:00pm, with a maximum of 16 children. The class explores mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts. There are numerous craft projects and musical opportunities as well as special field trips. The teacher works throughout the year to transition the children from an open classroom environment to the challenges and expectations of kindergarten.
