Early Explorers (Parent-Tot class)

Our Early Explorers (Parent-Tot) class runs from September to May.  Families can join at any point during the school year as long as space is available.

The Early Explorers class is designed to introduce toddlers and their families to preschool.  It introduces toddlers to shared space with their peers and encourages parents to experience the joys and community of a parent co-op preschool. The parent participants will assist in the children’s learning experience by facilitating interactions in the classroom.

If your child’s age is 2 years old or older, you may also wish to consider our 2-Day class.  

2026-2027 School Year

For 2026-2027 (starting Sep. 2026), we are offering an additional class for 12+ month-olds to join the Early Explorers class for one day a week. (A family member is still required to stay during class. This is not a drop-off program.)

Early Explorers for 12 + mo.  Monday’s 3-5 PM

The age ranges above are guidelines. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the teachers and the Board.
