Description of Program:
Play is how toddlers discover their world and learn to communicate with others, helping them cope with the serious things that can happen to a two-year old: toilet training, new siblings, seeing a parent off to work from an unfamiliar place. Our teachers plan a variety of fun play opportunities each day, including story time; dramatic play with props and costumes; song games and finger plays to introduce numbers, colors, body parts, and other interesting concepts; experimental play with art materials; physical activity on the playground and outdoors; and free, unstructured play.
