A Joyful First Step Into Preschool Life

On Tuesday afternoons from 4:00–5:15 PM, children ages 21–33 months arrive with their grown-ups for a joyful first step into preschool life. Led by a Master's educated early childhood expert, little hands dive into paint, scarves twirl in music and movement, stories spark giggles, and imaginations bloom in our cozy schoolhouse and outdoor Playgarden. Along the way, parents find connection and community, sharing in the wonder of these early years together. ​Families may continue with additional sessions, making this six-week experience a gentle, playful bridge into the magic of Mary Meyer School.

Registration can be found below. You may register for one session or multiple! Interested in dropping in to try a class? You are welcome! Just reach out to us via email at [email protected] or through our Inquiry page.
