Butterflies in nature have gone from an egg, to a caterpillar, they live in a cocoon as they change, grow and mature. When they finally emerge, they have become a beautiful butterfly ready to take flight and take on the world. At T2B, our Butterflies are still in the cocoon...we love and nurture their curious and developing spirit as we help them learn the skills they will need to be successful in Kindergarten and beyond.
At Tadpoles to Butterflies we give our Butterflies plenty of time and room to explore their world. We have learning centers that include a Dramatic Play area where they can practice taking turns, "reading" familiar print, and negotiating with friends.
RESPECT - EMPATHY - INDEPENDENCE
Children develop their love for learning Science, and Math in our STEM center. During their time with us we help them learn how to work with their peers, friends and adults, have respect for themselves and others, experience conflict resolution, develop empathy for others, and feel the independence of being able to do things for themselves. These are the cornerstones, the milestones of our program.
We want our Butterflies to be able to discern right from wrong and be able to be independent, have proper manners and be an all around great kiddo!
What child does not like to paint, color and play with playdough, building with blocks, learning to care for a baby doll or set a table in the Home Living center?
We offer time to sit in our Cozy Corner and read a book. In our writing center they will start to learn about letters, words, and writing their names and numbers.
When children head outside our green grass play area is waiting for them. They can run and jump, make yummy mud pies in our Mud Kitchen and play in our play house. Helping plant, cultivate and harvest fruits and veggies in our garden is also a fun experience. Children will get messy and they will have a blast every day!
We use the wonderful and special Pre-K curriculum called Experienced Curriculum every day. This curriculum offers hands on activities to help teach the different concepts that will be needed to be successful in Kindergarten .
Our main focus at T2B is to give your child the experiences needed to develop a love of learning and a passion for wanting to know more about the world around them. We achieve that goal by providing them with plenty of free time to play on their own and with groups of friends in the learning centers.
Our Butterflies are almost ready to enter the world. This is a unique age that is filled with wonder and exploration!
