A Mommy & Me & Gradual Separation for 2's
TOTS, our newest program, is designed as a combination of Mommy & Me and Separation giving your child a positive first school experience.
-
We consider this age to require neither babysitting nor preschool. Children of this age require a very special kind of program.
-
During Mommy & Me, both children and parents share a magical time together while developing the child's sense of confidence through interaction with their teachers and peers as well as age appropriate education materials. These are the skills needed to help them make the transition into separation.
-
During separation they begin to socialize, learn to follow simple directions, learn to transition easily from one activity to another while their teachers are developing their intellectual and emotional development.
-
In the classroom, children can choose appropriate play from blocks, dress up/dramatic play, various fine motor manipulatives and sensory tables as well as projects planned by the teacher to enhance a two year old's creative abilities.
-
Each week children attend music where they learn many songs and fingerplays as well as perform a parade with musical instruments.
-
Both our indoor and outdoor play areas address their gross motor skills allowing them to climb, run, jump, ride bikes and slide-an important time for them to enjoy creative and imaginative play.
PROGRAM: Full year program, starting in late September, beginning with Mommy & Me for ten weeks one day a week, Tuesday or Thursday from 12:10 to 1:40pm and then transitioning in January to a 2 day separation program on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:10 to 2:10pm ending in May.
CLASS SIZE: 5 or 6 children in each of the Mommy and Me classes with the same Head Teacher. In January, both classes combine for a total of 11 children with 1 Head Teacher and 1 Asst. Teacher
AGE REQUIREMENT: Children must be turning 2 by September 1st of the current school year.
