Early Preschool

Two-year-olds are ready for a real classroom: a morning meeting, learning centers they choose from, and a daily routine they can predict. The pace is still gentle, with plenty of time outside and a long nap.

This is also the potty-training year. We follow your lead on timing and use the same words and routine you use at home.

Questions Parents Ask About the Early Preschool Room

Does my child need to be potty trained?

No. Most children in this room are still in diapers or pull-ups when they start. We train together when your child is ready.
