This class is a gentle introduction to the routines and expectations of a Toddler or 2-year-old preschool program. In the company of a trusted caregiver, children will have the opportunity to explore the ins and outs of a “mini” preschool day. Morning meeting, music & movement and art exploration are all part of this hour and a half class, where children will reap the benefits of sharing space with peers in a group setting. We are thrilled to introduce Karla and Maddie, an incredible team, to our Parent and Me classes! They are bringing their expertise and passion to create an enriching experience, including this brand-new Mini Toddlers and Soothing Sensory class designed to engage and delight.
