Toddlers
Toddler “Passport” Program Foreign Language introduction classes for ages 2-3, with exposure to the French or Spanish language.
In our Toddler program, students will primarily hear the classroom’s target language, with English injected when the need for comprehension is paramount. French and Spanish vocabulary and associated cultures are introduced through everyday activities, stories, and song. Teachers emphasize and foster healthy emotional and social interaction as well as the development of self-help skills, with the goal of instilling an early love of learning.
Our Toddler class is led by two instructors and is limited to 16 children per day. Maximum attention is given to each individual child’s unique and particular needs, to encourage personal growth and a comfortable pace.
Teachers communicate regularly with parents regarding intellectual, emotional, and physical development, and work as partners to support healthy eating, sleeping/napping, and toilet-learning habits. Children are not required to be toilet-trained for entrance in the toddler class.
All Toddler Passport program students attend from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Families may select to add the Daydreamers nap-time option, which extends the school day to 3 pm, and/or the Afterschool Enrichment option, from which parents may pick up their children any time between 3:00 and 5:15 pm. In addition, the Early Birds option provides early morning care between 8:00 and 8:45 AM. Five-day, three-day (Mon-Wed-Fri), and two-day (Tues-Thurs) schedules are available with any of these time selections.
NOTE:
In keeping compliant with our licensing requirements, we are not able to care for children under the age of 2. We do occasionally allow children to start a few weeks into the school year following their 2nd birthday.
