Classrooms

Room 4: (12 Months – 18 Months)

The beginning of the toddler years! Children in this room are learning to sit at the table, use eating utensils, and drink out of a sippy cup. Most learning at this age is through free play in a classroom designed to promote exploration. Children eat table food, nap, and play outside. The classroom can have eight children with two teachers.

Room 5: (18 Months – 24 Months)

The next stage of early toddlers. This room moves toward more independence as toddlers drink out of open cups and start potty training. The teachers introduce more structured activities while leaving plenty of time for independent play. This room can have up to eight children with two teachers.

Room 6: (24 Months – 30 Months)

This is the start if the twos. Room 6 really digs into potty training. They focus on using manners, developing self regulation skills, and playing with others.

Room 12: (3.5 Years – 4 Years)
