Two’s Afternoon Workshop 

Our Afternoon Workshop is designed to encourage social skills, build friendships, and introduce children to age-appropriate materials while they acclimate to school routines. 

Beginning in Fall 2027, we will be offering a 2-hour workshop group for children born after Jan 1, 2025. Workshop applicants can initially choose to attend school 2 or 3 days a week from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Starting in January, all students will attend the group for 3 days a week.

The workshop class is underpinned by a belief that our youngest children benefit from having their parents/caregivers close by as they transition to school life. Parents are invited to attend bi-monthly discussion groups. Discussion groups are led by an experienced faculty member, and topics range and are tailored to subjects that interest the group. The discussion leader provides a broader picture by helping place children’s behavior into a developmental perspective; parents discover how much they have in common as they share the ups and downs of parenting. They give support to each other and develop close bonds. 

After the first school year, the workshop classes will move on to one Garden Room class for the 3s program.
