Monticello Community Education

Children are always on the move! Find out why movement and healthy plates are so important for building bodies and brains. Be prepared to dance, prance and move with your little one. Some calming mindful movement will help us wild down. We will visit the gym or outside.

Two year olds are growing at high speed. They require guidance and limits as they set out to try new things in their world. Our classrooms are set up to allow children to engage all of their senses as they sing, dance, create, problem solve, communicate and socialize. Children gain confidence, trust and independence as their parents separate for their facilitator led parent education which focuses on child development, parenting and parent-child relationships.

Children are natural observers who are constantly exploring the world around them. Experience the sense of wonder together as you enjoy “hands-on” science activities with your child! Develop a deeper understanding of how to support scientific thinking in your child during this exciting time of exploration and wonder.

Children of all ages enjoy and learn from music and movement experiences! Children gain skills in many areas when exposed to music—it enhances language development, body awareness, self-esteem, body coordination, sense of rhythm and much more. Music can also be used to engage your child while in the car, during waiting times, before nap time or when children need a distraction. Come learn some new songs and try out child friendly instruments.

Preschool sampler offers your child a taste of preschool one day a week. Children will engage in learning centers, small and large group activities which reinforce the skills needed for kindergarten. Children must be three by September 1st and fully toilet trained. This is a child only class.

Children learn about the world around them through exploration. Through intentional play and weekly theme rotation, your child will learn about Science, Art, Math, Music & Movement while you are there to safely guide them. While you are having a lively parent discussion, your child/ren will have the opportunity to freely explore and participate in some small & large group activities.

Get ready, get set, it’s school time! This class is geared towards getting your child ready to enter preschool or move on to kindergarten.

Tuesdays include parent/child time including a separated parent discussion and Thursdays you will drop your child off to help develop independence. Must be 3 by September 1st and fully toilet trained.
