Naturalists - Age 2 & 3
School Supplies List Now Available! Click here to download.
Overview
Naturalists are 2 years old at the time of entrance to school. Classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Potty training is not required! Our small classroom sizes and compassionate teachers help create a warm and secure environment for your child’s first school experience.
The Naturalist program helps young children develop social skills, confidence, self-esteem and most importantly, a love for learning! Our age-appropriate, thematic curriculum helps nurture a child’s natural curiosity about the world he/she lives in. The thematic units include: Nursery Rhymes, Fall Frolics, People in my Neighborhood, Fun Festivities, All About Me, Storybook Characters, Experiencing Mixtures, Seeds and Flowers and Animals in the Zoo.
The classroom environment and routine is well planned and allows for both child choice and structured learning opportunities.
Communication
Parents are kept informed of upcoming events and activities with a monthly calendar and newsletter in addition to a daily "Conversation Starter". Parent/Teacher conferences are held in November and May. Parents are invited to a cookie party in December and our end-of-year picnic in April.
