​Toddlers Together Program

A Joyful First Step Into Preschool Life

Dip a little toe into preschool!

Designed for children approximately 21 months to just under 3 years old, Toddlers Together is a joyful, gentle introduction to preschool for little ones who are beginning to stretch their independence, explore new friendships, and discover the fun of being part of a classroom community, all with a trusted grown-up nearby.

On Tuesday afternoons from 4:00–5:15 PM, children and their grown-ups come together in our cozy schoolhouse for purposeful play, exploration, and connection. Led by a master’s-educated early childhood expert, little hands dive into paint, scarves twirl during music and movement, stories spark giggles, and children explore both our classroom and outdoor Playgarden.

And Toddlers Together is for grown-ups, too. While children begin finding their footing in a preschool setting, parents and caregivers have a chance to connect with one another, learn alongside an experienced early childhood educator, and share in the wonder of these busy toddler years.

Each session runs for six weeks, and families are welcome to join us for one session or continue throughout the year. Over time, Toddlers Together becomes a familiar, playful bridge to preschool as children build relationships, confidence, and a sense that Mary Meyer School is a place that belongs to them, too.

Ready to join us? Registration is available below, and you may register for one session or multiple sessions throughout the year.

Curious but not quite ready to commit? Come try a class! We welcome drop-in visits when space allows. Reach out to us at [email protected] or through our Inquiry page, and we’ll help find a day that works.

Bringing an older sibling? We’re happy to offer older sibling childcare during Toddlers Together for an additional fee. Simply indicate your interest on the registration form.

We can’t wait to welcome you and your little one into the schoolhouse!
