Our Mission

These programs provide a gentle introduction to separation for two-year-olds, supporting children and families as they navigate this important developmental transition. Children build confidence, independence, and social-emotional skills in an environment where curiosity and learning are nurtured. Our expert faculty and play-based approach create a strong foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

With small class sizes and a high teacher-to-student ratio, we thoughtfully adapt the experience to meet the interests, needs, and developmental stages of each group. We balance structure and flexibility in a warm, supportive environment that encourages children to explore, experiment, problem-solve, and take meaningful risks.

Classes run from September to May with an optional June session. 

For children 2 years old, born between April 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

Sample Day

  • Arrival – Children put away their belongings and begin their day with familiar routines that foster independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging as they join their classmates.
  • Morning meeting – Children gather together for a welcoming group experience that supports language development, social awareness, and classroom connection. They sing the welcome song, review the day’s schedule, and notice who is present each day.
  • Free play – Children explore a variety of materials and play experiences, engaging in both open-ended and guided activities. Through play, children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and independence while learning in ways that are meaningful to them.
  • Clean up – Children work together to care for their classroom environment, building responsibility, teamwork, and pride in their shared space.
  • Snack – Snack provides an opportunity for children to practice independence, explore new foods, engage in conversation, and strengthen friendships.
  • Outdoor Play – Children enjoy opportunities for movement, exploration, and imaginative play in our outdoor, covered playground throughout the year.
  • Storytime – Children gather together to enjoy both beloved classics and new stories that inspire imagination, language development, and connection.
  • Group Activity – Experiences are thoughtfully designed to reflect the interests and developmental needs of the group through art, music, cooking, sensory exploration, and science.
  • Goodbye Birdie Song – Each day closes with familiar rituals that help children transition home, including singing our special goodbye song and celebrating the day together.
