2 days, Monday – Tuesday
9:00 – 11:30 am

* Art classes are included in the 2’s program
* Child may start in the 2’s class at the beginning of the month in which he/she turns 2 1/2

The 2’s class is often a child’s first school experience, and at The Co-op, we are pleased to provide a safe and nurturing environment. Children acquire autonomy and independence while engaging in gross motor play, sensory activities, music, circle, and story time. Language acquisition is also an integral part of the program; children learn new vocabulary and build a sound platform for expanding communication. They often experience a language explosion, which is a delight to both parents and teachers alike.

3 days, Wednesday – Friday
9:00 – 11:30 am

* Yoga and Music classes are included in the 3’s program

In the 3’s program, children learn to independently explore classroom centers, build friendships, and develop motor skills as they play. Important lessons such as patterning, sequencing, and two-step commands lay the foundation for future learning. Most paramount though are lessons in sharing, kindness, and conflict resolution as children move from parallel to group play. Music and yoga classes are offered weekly and are a highlight for the 3’s.

4 days, Tuesday – Friday
9:00 – 11:30 am

* Yoga and Music classes are included in the 4’s program

The 4’s are the leaders of the school and learn through discovery, play, and repetition. Children explore classroom centers and participate in a variety of sensory activities, such as drawing in sand or trying to sink a pumpkin. Conflict resolution, kindness, and community building are also an integral part of the curriculum.

The 4’s program emphasizes kindergarten readiness as children build number sense, increase phonemic awareness, and engage in STEM activities throughout the year. Music and yoga classes encourage children to explore other forms of expression and are offered weekly to round out the curriculum.
