Two and a half year olds Welcome to your child's first Classroom.  We believe that children, who are 2 ½ years of age, are very unique.  They are too old to be considered toddlers and not quite old enough to be preschool children.  They are ready to make more choices, have more expectations placed on them and the great desire to explore more of their world.  Back to Programs We, at Happy Time, understand this very important time in development. We have specifically designed a program just for them.  The program offers the preschool environment of multiple opportunities for learning and socializing along with learning about limits and expectations of the classroom.  Our focus is to learn to work in a group while respecting the individual.  The daily schedule is like preschool with more time allowed for transitions, toileting, and making individual choices.  This is a unique opportunity to provide respectful care giving and education 2 ½ year olds deserve.   Our rich environment and community supports many ways in which children learn.  Each day the children have the opportunity to engage in: reading & writing music & art block building & dramatic play science large motor activities outside community walks and play At Happy Time, we focus on relationships with children, families and staff and provide Nurturing and loving attention Respectful and consistent schedule for eating, sleeping and playing Safe and rich environment to grow and learn in Daily communication Open door policy click here to go to our three year old program
