About: The Preschool Program is designed to meet the specific developmental needs of toddlers. The classroom is full of materials to support the development of fine and gross motor skills, practical life skills, language, and independence. It also provides ample opportunities to acquire and practice the skills needed to be a member of a community – primarily, respect for the environment, respect for self, and respect for others. Children are provided with a supportive, nurturing environment where their individual strengths and interests can develop and flourish. In doing this, we strive to encourage the children’s natural curiosity and set the foundations of a lifelong love of learning. Toddlers may be enrolled for either two, three, or five days a week.
