2 to 4 years, 1 teacher to 6 children

Twos and Threes: the why room.

Somewhere around two, words arrive in a flood and every answer makes a new question. This room keeps up. Twelve kids, two teachers, and a lot of patience for the fourth why in a row.

The language burst

Real questions from last Tuesday.

We write the good ones down. Teachers answer honestly, then turn it back around: what do you think? Half the curriculum in this room starts with a question somebody asked at snack.

  • Why does the worm not have a face?
  • Is the moon following our car?
  • Why is my shadow bigger than me now?
  • Can the snails come to lunch?
  • Where does the rain go after?

Mixed age play

Little ones learn from the big ones. Big ones learn to be kind.

Twos and threes share one room on purpose. A two year old watches a three year old pour juice and wants to try. A three year old gets to be the expert and slows down to help. Teachers set it up, then mostly stay out of the way.

Tuition is $585 to $2,350 a month. Families pick two, three or five days, half, school or full days.

Toileting support

Diapers are fine. So is the potty.

Nobody has to be potty trained to start here. Most kids get there during the year, usually faster because they see friends doing it.

  • Kid sized everything

    Low toilets and sinks right off the classroom, so nobody has to walk down a hall in a hurry.

  • Every 90 minutes

    Teachers offer a bathroom trip on a steady rhythm and write it on the daily sheet you get at pick up.

  • Accidents happen

    Spare clothes go in the cubby. Wet ones come home in a bag, with zero drama attached.

Come see a real morning.

Tours run Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30am. Twenty minutes, kids welcome, no sales pitch.
