Our Classes

We offer an environment with a rich variety of opportunities for concrete "hands-on learning." Our curriculum is based on the belief that "children's work is play." Our program includes art, music, literacy, science, math, physical activity, community experiences, and Chapel.

  • The Toddler's program fosters a love for learning and builds trust in adults other than caregivers while developing a sense of autonomy and independence. We also work to build their vocabulary, attention span, sensory, and fine motor skills through teacher interaction, modeling, and playing with peers. All experiences in the classroom allow for individual choices, experimentation, and self-expression. At this age, children learn at their own pace. We highlight the "process," not the "product."

    • Ages 18-24 months (birthdates: 9/1/24 – 3/1/25) 

    • Child: Teacher Ratio 6:2​

    • T/TH Class- $330 monthly tuition

    • Prior to classes beginning, toddlers must be able to walk independently, sit upright at a table, and self-feed with finger foods.

  • Similar to our toddler class, our 2-year-old program aims to foster a love of learning and build trust in adults while developing a sense of autonomy and independence. We also work to build their vocabulary, attention span, sensory, and fine motor skills through teacher interaction, modeling, and playing with peers. All experiences in the classroom allow for individual choices, experimentation, and self-expression. At this age, children learn at their own pace. We stress the "process," not the "product." Autonomy in specific areas develops at this age, which helps with the transition into our 3's program a success.
