Programs Overview

Which Program Is Right for You?

At Mary Meyer School, children and families can begin their journey with us at different stages. Some start by stepping into our cozy schoolhouse together for the Parent & Toddler Program, while others join independently in our Preschool Program. Both offer a warm, play-based approach that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and creates a foundation for joyful learning.
​
Below, you’ll find a brief overview of each program to help you see which one is the right fit for your family. No matter where you begin, our programs are designed to nurture both children and parents—helping you find a place where your child can thrive, and you can feel supported as part of our community.

Parent & Toddler Program

A joyful first step into preschool life

​
Designed for children ages 21–33 months and their parents or caregivers, this six-week program offers a gentle introduction to preschool. Led by a master's educated early childhood expert, each week brings hands-on activities, music and movement, stories, and time to explore our outdoor Playgarden. Along the way, families connect with one another and share in the wonder of these early years. Many families continue with multiple sessions, building comfort and confidence for the transition to preschool.

Where backpacks meet wonder

For children ages 3+, our Preschool Program is a place where learning unfolds through purposeful play, small class sizes, and close teacher relationships. Whether baking cupcakes, planting vegetables, or joining together on the rainbow rug for Meeting Time, every child is seen, celebrated, and encouraged to grow. Morning and afternoon classes create lively communities where children practice kindness, curiosity, and confidence—skills they will carry into every new adventure.
