Our T1 Class serves children 1-2 years old and is a great opportunity for parents and kiddos to make friends and learn while going to school together! During our time together, we offer opportunities to meet each toddler’s individual developmental milestones and goals. These developmentally appropriate activities include, but are not limited to: arts/crafts, story time, sensory exploration, fine motor & gross motor tasks, social skills with peers, music, and movement.

The parental support during our sessions are built in to help families navigate the many ups and downs of parenting a toddler. Families have the opportunity to discuss prevalent parenting topics and discuss what strategies and/or resources are helpful. We also work cooperatively to provide a nutritious snack and keep the safety of any class allergies a top priority.
