Bloomington Community Education

If there is something to learn, a two year old will find it! Two year olds are not babies anymore and they are not preschoolers yet. They are taking on new challenges everyday and classroom staff are ready and prepared for all the adventures. New words, new friends and new feelings are all part of the two year old's experience at school. This is a gradual separation class. Please refer to the chart above to determine your level based on the size of your family and your income. You will be able to choose one of these levels during the registration process. All families are welcome. No one will be denied participation due to inability to pay.
