Elm and Maple rooms (2 -3+ years)

Elm and Maple Rooms --Moving on up!

Our 2 -3 year old program was developed to provide creative and nurturing care for children whose cognitive, language, and motor skills continue to develop and they expand into social play. This program is structured very similarly to our preschool programs, with the exception of shorter segments, diaper and potty reminders, and a lot of time to explore the world at their own pace. We try to give kids the time, words, space, and materials needed to make sure they can express themselves as they further develop their social-emotional skills!
