Toddlers: One's and Two's Classes
We are excited to announce our new Mommy and Me classes, developed to bring out the best in each age level. From Wonderful Ones to Terrific Twos and then on to Brush To The Beat and our Pre-K programs, we grow with your child.

Wonderful Ones (18 Mos-23 mos.)
Our one-year-old program is full of music and movement. We explore our growing independence and physical dexterity as we climb and jump on our gross motor skills play center. Circle time follows with many of our favorite children's songs, and a few new ones to learn together.  We will play with rhythm sticks, instruments, scarves, and beanbags as we celebrate together, concluding each class with bubble time! A wonderful time for our Wonderful Ones!

Terrific Twos (2 yrs)
Our two-year-olds are fast developing pretend play, balance, interpersonal relationships and fine motor skills. We play to these new strengths by creating daily obstacle courses, "around our town" imagination play and incorporating crafts into our weekly themes. We join together each day with circle time to sing and play and will explore new instruments throughout the semester. Teamwork and imagination are encouraged and social/emotional strengths are supported in our Terrific Twos program!
