Caterpillars Classroom (2.5–3.5 Years) Non Tk Eligible

Welcome to our Caterpillars classroom, where children ages 2.5 to 3.5 years continue to grow into confident, curious, and independent learners. At this stage, children are eager to ask questions, make new friends, and explore their world. Our nurturing teachers create a supportive environment where learning is meaningful, engaging, and filled with opportunities for discovery through hands-on experiences, play, and exploration.

One of the major milestones during this stage is *potty training*. We work closely with families to provide a consistent, positive, and encouraging approach that helps children build confidence and independence at their own pace. Along with self-help skills such as handwashing, dressing, and cleaning up after themselves, children begin taking greater responsibility for their daily routines. Through early literacy, math, science, art, music, sensory play, and outdoor exploration, our curriculum helps develop the academic, social, and emotional skills needed for a successful transition into our Butterflies classroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. My child isn't fully potty trained yet. Can they still join?

Yes! Many children in this age group are still learning. We work together with families, encourage children throughout the day, and celebrate every little success without putting pressure on them.

2. What does a typical day look like?

Your child will enjoy circle time, art, music, outdoor play, story time, hands-on learning, and plenty of opportunities to make friends. We keep a consistent routine so children know what to expect each day.

3. How do you help my child get ready for the next classroom?

We help children become more independent by encouraging them to use the bathroom, wash their hands, clean up after themselves, follow directions, and build confidence in a fun and caring environment.

Butterflies Classroom (TK Eligible – Need to be fully potty trained)

Welcome to our Butterflies classroom, thoughtfully designed for children who are TK-eligible and preparing for the exciting transition to Kindergarten. This classroom fosters independence, confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning in a structured yet engaging environment. Our experienced teachers provide meaningful learning experiences that encourage children to think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and become confident learners.

Our comprehensive Kindergarten Readiness curriculum focuses on building strong foundations in literacy, phonics, early reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and STEM while continuing to nurture creativity through art, music, dramatic play, and hands-on projects. Children also strengthen essential life skills such as following multi-step directions, working independently and collaboratively, managing emotions, developing responsibility, and building positive friendships. By the time children graduate from our Butterflies classroom, they are academically, socially, emotionally, and confidently prepared to begin Kindergarten with the skills they need to thrive.

We help children practice letters, numbers, writing their name, listening, following directions, and working with others. Most importantly, we help them become confident and independent learners.

2. Will my child still have time to play?

Absolutely! Children learn best through play. We balance learning activities with art, outdoor play, music, science, dramatic play, and hands-on projects so every day is both fun and meaningful.

We’ll keep you updated on your child’s progress throughout the year. We’ll share what they’re doing well, areas they’re still working on, and how you can support learning at home so there are no surprises when kindergarten begins.
