Our Parent-Child program is a place to make new friends and learn more about the delicate early years of childhood under the nurturing guidance of our Parent-Child educator. Parents and caregivers often find that the relationships made in our programs last years beyond their time in the classroom with their young ones. The children are able to socialize for the first time outside of their immediate family circle, allowing them to stretch their wings socially and emotionally. To register, please visit the Parent-Child program page.

Children are eligible to begin our preschool program at the age of 2.5(two years, six months old), and should be potty-trained before starting.
