Twos / early preschool

The early preschool program is designed for children 2 years to 3 years. 

Parents must provide diapers, wipes, and 2 changes of clothes for each child.

When parents are ready for their child to potty train, the teacher and parents will develop a plan together. Parents must provide extra clothing, and if needed, diapers and wipes.. KDHE regulations require that to prevent the spread of germs, soiled clothing is not rinsed, just bagged and sent home each day.  

Children will be given age-appropriate meals and snacks as part of our food program. 

Children will have at least 60 min. daily active play (gross motor skills) time outdoors on the playground.  Please be sure to provide appropriate shoes with Velcro closures and seasonal clothing. Fresh air and sunshine are just as important for health as hydration and nutrition. 

Children will have rest time every afternoon on cots provided by the Center. Children should bring their own blanket from home, which will be sent home to be washed weekly. They may also bring a small travel size pillow and a stuffy if they wish, but these items are to remain in their cubbies for use only during rest time. If the child does not fall asleep within 20 minutes of laying down, they will be allowed to do quiet activities until rest time is over. 

Basic manners and direction following are high priorities, as these are social skills they will carry on in every other aspect. 

Children are involved in research-based curriculum and activities to stimulate social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
