Our Toddler 1 class is designed to challenge the new sense of exploration your child will encounter in addition to fostering a love of learning. Our curriculum is designed to nurture early language development skills through social interactions within the classroom, as well as to develop a sense of curiosity that is enhanced through investigation and play. Daily routines are put in place in the Toddler 1 class to establish the comfort and consistency toddlers seek. Hands on sensory experiences such as water-play, the sand table, art projects, and outdoor play help toddlers strengthen and develop their fine & gross motor skills. Because toddlers at this age are developing their ability to understand perspective and empathy towards others, we provide plenty of opportunities to play and learn from peers. These early relationships within the classroom help to form the foundation for social and emotional success.

"Play is the highest form of research." - Albert Einstein
In the Pre-K classroom, your child will be working to become a more independent learner and problem solver. Your child will be learning critical thinking skills to help him/her make sense of the world around them. Your child will also be working towards setting and achieving reasonable goals such as fostering independence, working with others, language acquisition, fine and gross motor skills, and encouraging social and emotional growth. We believe that with the proper guidance, modeling, education and support, Kidstop can help your child grow to become the best "me" they can be!

Our Pre-K2 program is designed for children who miss the kindergarten cut off. This program will serve as a bridge between the Pre-K years and Kindergarten. Our curriculum is an enhanced version of the Pre-K curriculum with more time and attention spent on building a stronger pre-foundational reading sense, a stronger focus on phonemic awareness, and more center based work around math and science. Pre-K2 gives your child the gift of time and opportunities to explore, investigate, and discover the world around them. This program prepares your child for a happy and smooth transition into their next phase of childhood. Due to our low student to teacher ration, Kidstop provides your child with a small, safe, and secure environment that will allow your child to flourish.
