Our Two-Year-Old Program (Toddler) is a year of exposure to the social world outside of the home. We provide a nurturing and social environment in an atmosphere of play. Children engage in a variety of activities aimed at strengthening skills and developing language. Young children grow and learn best through play, therefore both structured play activities and free play are integral parts of our classroom.

We operate classrooms of two-year-olds on the following weekly schedules:

• 2 days from 9:00 am to 11:15 am on Tuesday/Thursday
• 2 extended days from 9:00 to 1:00 pm on Tuesday/Thursday
• 2 full days with flexible hours from 7:30-5:00 on Tuesday/Thursday
• 3 days from 9:00 to 11:15 am on Monday/Wednesday/Friday
• 3 days from 9:00 to 1:00 (including lunch bunch) on Monday/ Wednesday/Friday
