All On My Own

This class is the next step up from On My Way and is a great introduction to the preschool setting or can be an additional class to take alongside preschool. Each class will have a combination of structured and unstructured play. Children will enjoy participating in theme oriented art projects, musical games, stories, circle time and much more. This is a great opportunity for parents to run errands while your child makes new friends and enjoys time with Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Marie. If your child is not potty trained, you will need to stay in close proximity in case we need assistance with a diaper change. Prerequisite: Child must have taken any class without a parent prior to attending this class and be comfortable attending class by themselves. (KW)
