This classroom is designed for “potty-training” two-year olds and young three-year olds. The children in this age group typically can communicate needs and wants with a vocabulary of about  50-100 words. Learning centers will encourage the use of cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, social and emotional skill sets. Children will engage in many activities to promote learning and self-esteem.

*Developmentally, the children fall in-between the two 1/2 and three year old age, or 30-36 months of age

Class Ratio: 1 adult to 9 children.

Folders: Check your child’s folder daily for artwork and notices from management.
