The 1-Year Old Program offers a 2-day class on Tuesday/Thursday and a 3-day class on Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Children who are 1-year old by August 31, but not yet 2, may participate in either the 2-day or 3-day class. Each 1-year old class is open to seven children.
The 1-year old program provides a gentle introduction to a small group environment. Daily activities follow a similar daily schedule and include free play in the classroom, a short gathering time with songs and movement, outside play on our adventurous playground, and an allergy-friendly snack. During the day, children have many opportunities to exercise gross and fine motor skills, explore social relationships, integrate verbal communication into their interactions, and broaden their sensory skills.
