 
Play-2-Learn offers classes for
children in three different age groups.
All classes require parent/adult participation.
Ages 18 months - 2 1/2 years: As
long as your toddler is walking, they are ready for this
exciting class. Our goal is to introduce these
children to a fun classroom environment. By
following a routine each week, the children learn what
to expect and what comes next. Each week a new
alphabet letter is introduced from the "letter box."
Group activities, crafts, and manipulatives coincide
with the letter of the day. Free time in the
playroom is a big hit with these kids. A group
story and song time end each class.
Ages almost 3 - 4 years: The
objective for these children is to provide a classroom
routine that allows the child to predict what
activity comes next. A lengthened circle-time is
the perfect opportunity for the calendar, daily weather,
and theme of the week to be introduced. A
teacher-directed group activity gives the children an
opportunity to follow directions and gain self
confidence in their finished project. Parent/child
station time include activities that introduce math,
phonics, pre-reading, science, cooking, crafts, and
writing and cutting practice. A variety of hands
on manipulatives are also available and enhance eye/hand
coordination. Socialization skills are
a big part of this classroom experience. Free time
in the playroom is the perfect place to make new
friends. Snack and a closing circle-time end each
class.
Ages 4 - 6 years: The
goal for this age group is to prepare them for the
kindergarten classroom. A classroom routine
teaches the children that there is a time to listen, a
time to work and create, and lots of time to play!
With parent helpers at each station, small group
stations have a 1-3 adult/child ratio. Academic
goals for this class include, but are not limited to:
Letter recognition and letter sounds, number recognition
1-20, color and shape recognition, counting 1-30,
writing their first name with upper and lower case
letters, sequencing, patterning, and sorting.
Socialization skills that are encouraged are: respect
for others and property, listening skills, following
directions, using our words to voice ourselves, and
sharing. A preschool graduation will conclude the
school year for every child entering Kindergarten.
