Toddlers are natural investigators, and this class is designed to bring out the best of their new found abilities! Weekly age-appropriate explorations will allow them to discover new things in their world, and give you a chance to learn more about how environmental education, science, technology, engineering and math (E-STEM) can be easily incorporated into your toddler’s day. Parents/caregivers will investigate topics surrounding E-STEM learning and loose part play.

Racing, rolling, building, busting, pounding, planting...we'll do all that and more in this hands-on, indoor/outdoor, try-it-out exploration! Age-appropriate activities will provide parents and their active learners an opportunity to investigate and problem solve together. Children play together with a licensed children's teacher while adults will meet with a licensed parent educator.

If family circumstances have prevented your child from participating in a traditional preschool experience, this unique evening class might be just right for you. Specifically designed for children ages 3 to 5, Preschool Express provides a year-long opportunity for children to practice school readiness skills and for the adults in their lives to prepare for the transition to kindergarten. We'll take a gentle approach to separation, with time for parent-child interaction in the fall and winter, and tapering off to independent preschool experience in the spring. All the while, we'll be working on building self-confidence in the classroom setting, pre-literacy and emerging math and science knowledge, social and emotional competence and speech and language development.
