Explore & Learn with Your Two-Year-Old!
Join your child in a fun, engaging classroom designed to support their growing independence. A licensed early childhood teacher will guide their exploration through sensory play, art, and hands-on learning. Our licensed parent educator will lead parenting discussion topics such as toilet learning, behavior, and cognitive growth.
This is a gradual separating class, so adults will eventually go to a different classroom for the parent discussion time.
Children must be 2 by September 1, 2025 to attend this class.
This class will meet for the whole school year.
Learning goals for this class are:
The child will independently explore the classroom and learn through play.
The child will comfortably separate from their adult. Parents/Caregivers will gain knowledge, skills, and resources about raising two year olds.
The Thursday section of this class has sibling care available. Sibling care requires a separate registration when enrolling for this class.
**Sibling care is currently full.
If you would like to be added to a waiting list for sibling care, please follow the link below to be added to the waiting list.**
