2-Year-Old Program - Cubbie Bears 

Our 2-year old preschool class is designed to provide a warm and welcoming environment where your child can begin their journey of exploration and learning. At this stage, we focus on building foundational skills through play-based activities that encourage curiousity, social interaction, and early development. We've redesigned this class structure to better prepare your preschooler for their academic journey ahead. As a parent or guardian, we kindly ask for your active involvement in supporting your child during the first few weeks to help them build the independence needed to attend class on their own.
