2-5 Year OldsOur 2-5 year old classes celebrate the incredible window of growth in early childhood. While children lead the way through hands-on exploration and play, parents lean into connecting with their child through play and peer connections. Time is also devoted to explore relevant parenting topics and build a supportive community in a parent friendly environment while children build confidence and learning with our Early Childhood Licensed Teacher. By honoring the development of both child and parent, we create a rich environment where the whole family thrives in the present moment.Category -
Babies and ToddlersThe first months and years are a whirlwind of growth. In our youngest classrooms, we move beyond "readiness" to focus on the essential building blocks of development: security and connection. While children engage in sensory-rich exploration, parents have the space to build their own skills. Depending on the class, parent education may be integrated into playtime or held in a separate space, allowing you to build deep roots with your child while creating lasting bonds with other families.Category -
