Toddlers, Twos, & Threes Classes

2-5 days per week

We are a school first and foremost, so our rooms aren't just boxes meant to hold your kids. Rather, our classrooms provide a safe environment where children can become increasingly independent as they learn through play and social interaction. This foundation starts with our toddlers and advances through the twos and threes rooms. Your children learn through engagement with age appropriate toys and activities that grow along with them. During center time, students are able to choose from a variety of activities including: science, art, building blocks, dramatic play (costumes), math, sensory toys, puzzles, and games. Language development is an important part of our program, so we provide a language rich environment filled with stories, songs, and conversation starting with our youngest kiddos.

Pre-K

5 days per week

The pinnacle of our school is our Pre K program, which continues to nurture each child's creativity and natural curiosity while preparing them for kindergarten. Classroom time is divided into three core areas: 

  • Two circle times (stories, teacher prompts, sitting/following directions)
  • Teacher led small group instruction
  • Free choice center time that might involve building blocks, writing, art, dramatic play, sensory materials, or math. 

Pre-reading skills are integrated throughout the curriculum along with other kindergarten readiness skills such as cutting, counting, taking turns, and following directions.  

Special Weekly Activities - Optional*

Classes are held at the school every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:15 to 1pm. They are taught by Coach Jean, who is an experienced athlete and gymnast. Ages three to PreK are welcome, and no prior experience is required.


 Tue: Sports Stars 

Wed: Yoga Stars 

    Th: Dance Stars 


*The fee for these optional programs is paid directly to the third party provider, Little Stars AZ.

    DIAPERS / POTTY TRAINING

    Class placement is based on your child's age as of September 1st (except toddlers). Our Twos and Threes programs have 2 classes each, and students are generally placed into a classroom with peers that most closely match their age and developmental level.

    DIAPERS / POTTY TRAINING

    All kids develop at different levels, which is why we have a flexible potty training policy. We will often work with parents to make the transition from diapers to full use of the potty.

    WALKING

    Generally, all kiddos must be walking on their own to start in our Toddler program, but we may consider some exceptions on a case by case basis.
