Yellow House - Bunnies Program
(infants / toddlers)
This program introduces your child to school routines, practices socialization skills and offers a wide variety of engaging activities. Children are grouped by ages from 7 weeks to 12 months in our infant room, 12 - 22 months in wobbler room and 20 - 34 month in the toddler room. Group size is limited to 8 total children per age range with two teachers. You may enroll at anytime provided there is space in the program. Call for registration information and availability.
We encourage your child to examine, create, and share as he/she broadens their language through interactions with their teachers and classmates in a safe, nurturing environment. Sensory and repetitive activities transform these new experiences into knowledge. Two year olds want to be independent. They want to explore, touch and mimic their peers and teachers. Our program focuses on language, social and emotional development, and gross and fine motor development. Through age-appropriate activities, our two year olds have the ability to work at their own pace and learn to do tasks independently.
Activities in the Bunny Program include:
Dramatic play, art projects, yoga, music, story time, playground time, gross motor development, block play and more!
