Our Programs

At TCS Preschool, we value and respect children’s natural ways of discovering and making sense of the world. Because we appreciate the unique qualities that each child brings to the classroom, our special programs seek to foster both individual confidence and a lifelong appreciation for community at every level.

In this separation program, qualified teachers work closely with families to aid in the separation process and introduce children to the classroom environment. The teachers create a flexible schedule to meet each child's needs and work in tandem with parents to successfully prepare for the transition to a 2’s program. The goal is to provide a positive learning experience for the child and to set up the entire family for integration into our Preschool. Includes free play, story time, morning meeting songs, and daily sensory play. Class size is limited to 8 children. Program begins mid-October and runs through May.

Age eligibility: For children ages 16-23 months by October 1st.
