The Gardner School’s toddler program nurtures independence, growth, and socialization in a supportive, engaging environment. Using The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos, teachers encourage exploration through play and responsive interactions. As children transition from American Sign Language to early language, communication is supported through stories, songs, puzzles, and hands-on learning. Group activities build confidence, social skills, and emotional development. Families stay connected through real-time updates, photos, and app notifications. Monthly themes introduce colors, sensory exploration, cooperative play, and self-expression. Itsy Bitsy Yoga supports sleep, digestion, and well-being. By fostering curiosity and creativity, we build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

The Gardner School’s two-year-old program supports rapid physical, cognitive, and social growth through play and exploration. Using The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos, teachers foster autonomy, confidence, and early learning. Interactive centers focus on language, math, science, fine motor skills, and dramatic play, while group activities and circle time build socialization and self-help skills like feeding, hand-washing, and sharing. Teachers partner with families to support potty training when children are ready. Parents stay connected through real-time updates, photos, and progress reports. Children can also explore enrichment classes such as music, dance, language, and sports. Through engaging, individualized experiences, we build confidence, independence, and a love for learning.

Pine Village Preschool lives its mission through guided and unstructured play and exploration. Throughout each day, educators allow students to choose their own play, own responsibility in their problem solving, and control their own learning. Everything we do is based on the belief that each child is unique and there is not a “one size fits all” approach to what we do. The key element in helping a child develop to the fullest of their capabilities lies in discovering who they are. When we have knowledge of who the child is, what their personality is, then we have the tools we need to help that child grow each and every day. There is never a need to “change” who the child is, just simply a need to know who they really are, and how we can help them achieve their true potential.
