2s Program

Our 2s program is guided with the understanding that most of these children will be experiencing separation from a parent/caregiver for the very first time. We support children into a gradual transition towards independent play and socialization. Our highly experienced and dedicated teachers provide a warm and friendly environment for the children to experience what “school” is all about. We focus on building trust, a love of school, independence, and being part of a community.

A typical day includes free play, circle time, indoor playground, outdoor playground (weather permitting), various arts and crafts, cooking, singing and snack time.

Parents may choose a three or five day a week program. Following a gradual introductory period in which the length of the school day increases each week, the typical school day runs from 9:15 am to 11:45 am. Each class is run by a head teacher with at least an undergraduate or associates degree in early childhood education or many years of experience in a daycare center environment, plus at least one qualified assistant. Children in these classes must turn 2-years-old on or before December 1 of that school year.

3s Program

The three’s is an important year in a child’s development.  Parallel play gives way to more cooperative play,. language and communication skills improve and the children are becoming more physically adept. As a result, our program for three-year-olds is our most structured year where we encourage participation in all areas of the classroom. The school day runs from 9:00 am to 11:45 am and parents may choose a three, four or five day a week program. Each class is run by an accredited head teacher, plus at least one qualified assistant.

Three-year-olds may elect to stay for our Afternoon Enrichment program, but must be toilet trained to participate in this additional program. Children in these classes must turn 3-years-old on or before December 31 of that school year.

4s Program

Our 4s program builds on the confidence and enthusiasm that is typical of this age group and fosters even greater independence among the children by stressing self-care skills, gross and fine motor abilities, socialization, love of school, positive self-esteem and numerous other activities that prepare them for entering kindergarten the following year. 

Parents may chose from two different schedules: (i) five mornings a week, from 9:00 am to 11:45 am or (ii) two full days from 8:45 am to 2:15 pm and 3 half-days from 8:45 am to 11:45 am. All 4s classes are run by a head teacher with a Masters degree in Education, plus at least one qualified assistant. 

Children in these classes should be completely toilet trained and must turn 4-years old on or before December 31 of that school year.
