Day Time Programs
Toddler Time
Tuesday & Thursday 9am - 12pm (1 spot for ages 4 -5)
Children ages 2.5 - 5yrs meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays 9am - 12pm. Our program is play based with some structured activity time too. We understand that young children learn best through play while developing social skills, emotional skills, mindfulness, and self regulation. We provide quality toys, montessori manipulatives, puzzles, etc. The teachers are always ready to help a child learn something if they express interest. During free play time, some children are playing with wooden train sets, some are putting together a puzzle, others are dressing dolls, while one practices writing their name. Everyone "works" and plays at their own ability level according to their interest. Each day children also enjoy art projects or free art exploration, music circle, story-storytelling, lunch, and time to run, climb, and play under the Oaks in City Park!
The cost for this program is $225 a month.

This session, our explorers will be exploring the food they eat, specifically fruits, vegetables, nuts, and dairy. We will plant and tend a vegetable garden. Explore the life cycle of plants.
