Programs
Parent-Toddler Program - for children ages one and two-years-old accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Share a social learning experience in a homelike environment. The program is a source of social and parenting support for parents and a safe, quiet respite during the course of busy, but often isolating days.
Details: The program runs for two sessions of 10 weeks each in the fall and spring, meeting on Thursday or Friday mornings from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. Registration Form (.pdf)
Toddler Program - a smooth transition for the toddler from home to a home-like environment outside the home. Parents can go to work and/or the child can have a social experience, learning from caring adults and other children. The child achieves a healthy separation from the parents at his or her own pace. She begins to build self confidence, balance, health, and acquire practical skills by living into the gentle rhythm. Activities include: bread-baking, dish-washing, singing and creative play both indoors and out.
Details: Children between 18 and 36 months. The program is from 7:45 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.year-round. (half or full days, 2-5 days a week) Dandelion Day Care and Sweet Pea Preschool (.pdf)
Preschool and Kindergarten Programs - an extension of the structured transition from home-life to school-life. The child learns through imitation, repetition and creative play. Children become accustomed to working within a group, listening to stories, interacting with a teacher, and following a daily routine. At the same time, they are aided in development as individuals through the encouragement of creative play (indoors and outdoors), practical life skills (including gardening and baking) and artistic opportunities.
Details: Children in the preschool room are three and four years old. Children in the kindergarten are four and five years old. Placement of children is at the Center’s discretion based on individual needs and group dynamics. The program is available from 7:45 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. year-round (half or full days, 3-5 days a week) The Rosebud Kindergarten (.pdf)
