Unit Descriptions: 2 years to 4 years

September – Carnival of Music
This month’s story features Barley Bear and his day-long quest to find a piece of shoo-fly pie at the fair. In class we’ll read about Barley and talk about his willingness to wait and be patient in the middle of the fun fair distractions. At home, your Home Kit includes more activities to help your child feel comfortable in group-play and group-learning situations.
Home Kit: Egg shaker, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Shoofly Pie)


October – Animals A-Dancing
Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. This month we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way. Your Home Kit features songs for wiggling and helps toddlers develop dexterity and fine-motor skills. Your magazine-style Family Guide also includes at-home activity ideas, games, and questions that involve the class story, so your child develops memory and comprehension—all in the context of sharing time with you.

July – Let’s Play

All the ways you play—at home, in the school yard, during your family time together—is this month’s theme. In class we’ll play “Follow the Leader” and other playground games to help your toddler develop listening and singing skills while strengthening movement and hand-eye coordination. In your Home Kit, find more activities, songs, and games you can do together to play and learn at home, too.

August – Out & About
This month, we’re taking pretend adventures to the mountains, the beach, and going on bike rides, and picnics. Meanwhile, your toddler gets lots of practice taking turns and interacting socially. And you’ll love the take-home activities in your Home Kit, with great ideas for making an easy-at-home bird feeder. Plus, when you incorporate these class activities into your playtime at home, you’re sharing in the learning happening in class.
