Classrooms

The toddlers receive a warm introduction to their first school experience. The teachers in this classroom are trained in separation strategies and foster a welcoming environment that helps children transition to school. Through play, motor, and sensory activities, the children get comfortable with school routines and begin to play with friends. Learning experiences include exposure to shapes, letters, colors, and numbers.

The teachers create a language rich environment to develop the children’s expressive and receptive language skills. Fine motor manipulatives and gross motor movement is woven throughout the daily schedule. Joy and fun are at the foundation of all activities and lessons.
