Our classes focus on social development and learning through play. Each year’s class builds on the previous year’s program in curriculum experiences and activities offered. The classrooms are set up to invite exploration and foster a lifelong love of learning. Our staff is deeply committed to the young child and the importance of early childhood education.

Twos/Young Threes:  Children must turn 3 by February 1 of that school year. The focus of this class is on social development and learning through play. Separating from parents, learning to take direction, and being nurtured by people outside of immediate family are important milestones for this age. The building of trust and growing peer awareness are enhanced by a safe environment that provides a foundation for learning.


The Teddy Bear class is the morning session for 2 1/2 – and 3-year-old children. Teachers design a variety of engaging activities that gradually encourage children to interact and communicate with others. The indoor classroom and outdoor playground are safe, interesting spaces for Teddy Bears to explore and make sense of their world.
