PREP SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Parent Participation Prep Class – Connecting. Developing. Testing
(120 minutes, Monday – Friday, 9:30am – 11:30am, for children 18 – 30 months old)
We look forward to gently introducing you and your toddler to the classroom experience. In this class, you will attend with your child and stay with them the whole time, guiding them to notice their Teacher’s instructions and to engage peacefully with their peers and classroom materials.
Our Goals: To lay a strong social foundation based in kindness and trust while learning basic school social skills such as waiting, listening, asking the Teacher for help, taking pride in cleaning up, turn-taking, and more.
PRESCHOOL & JK PROGRAMS
Junior Preschool – Confident. Exploring. Trusting.
(2 hours, Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 11:00 am, for children 2½ – 3 years old)
Our licensed Jr Preschool Program supports your child’s emerging sense of autonomy and independence. We continue the ‘Transfer of Trust and Authority’ from Parent to Teacher by asking parents to remain seated at the side of the room or in our lobby, throughout class. Your child may come to you for reassurance and connection at any time, while also having the opportunity to practice ‘on-my-own’ participation and develop the confidence to ‘go to school’. All while still enjoying the closeness and security that having you near provides them.
Our Goals: To support the emerging autonomy of each child and begin healthy separation from their caregiver for most, if not all, classroom activities. To expand your child’s vocabulary for receiving help, changing social interactions for the better, and sharing feelings.
Preschool – Independent. Curious. Academically & Socially Engaged
(3 hours, Mon – Friday, 9:00am – 12:00pm, for children 3 – 4 years old)

We encourage your child to use their natural learning style to complete daily activities while being inspired to become lifelong learners who are self-sufficient, confident members of society. Our bright and engaging classroom is arranged into thematic stations with quality materials for every curiosity and interest your child may have.
Our Goals: To inspire your child to be curious, empathetic, mindful, and confident while out in the world and at school. To prepare your child for successful entry into Jr Kindergarten.
