Finding the words
Songs, stories, gestures, and everyday conversation help children build vocabulary and communicate what they want, need, and notice.

Early Preschool
Big feelings. Big discoveries. Growing independence.
2 years until potty trained
Two-year-olds have so much to say—and so much they’re still figuring out. Our Jungle classroom serves children from age two until they are potty trained, with short group activities, familiar routines, and plenty of movement. Teachers help them communicate, make friends, and practice new skills.

What Your Child Will Be Learning
Learning to be together
Teachers help children name feelings, join play, wait for a turn, and ask for help. These skills take time and plenty of practice.
Small hands, big ideas
Scooping, painting, building, dancing, and exploring materials build coordination. Letters, counting, colors, and shapes appear in play and short activities.
“Let me try!”
Washing hands, putting things away, following simple directions, and helping at mealtimes build confidence one manageable step at a time.

A Day in Our Program
Classroom routines provide familiarity while leaving room for children’s needs, interests, weather, and special activities.
A familiar beginning
A warm welcome, breakfast, and choices help children settle in. Short group experiences alternate with active play and exploration.
Care is part of the day
Diapering or potty training, handwashing, meals, and rest are chances to build trust and practice independence.
Time to reconnect
Afternoon snack, music, books, creative play, and movement carry us toward pickup and a check-in with family.
