Join the Essentials Preschool Family!

As toddlers begin walking, talking, and playing independently, we provide a warm, engaging environment where they can safely explore and thrive.  Children are introduced to Learning Without Tears (LWT) - the hands-on learning curriculum that uses multi-sensory learning and play!

 We also partner with our parents to aid in transitioning to independent sleep and consistent routines that support emotional regulation. Our teachers foster a strong sense of connection, promoting healthy relationships and secure attachments that help toddlers feel confident and ready to learn.

At this age, toddlers are meeting new challenges daily, and we meet their energy with an engaging curriculum. This includes continued and expanded use of the Learning Without Tears (LWT) curriculum with the introduction of LWT reading books, and foundational concepts like colors, shapes, letters, and numbers.

We maintain a strong focus on language development, emotional expression, and building friendships. We also provide daily updates through the daily reports, Brightwheel App, email correspondence, and in person updates. Every day in our Older Toddler classroom is filled with discovery, development, and joy. 

In our Two-Year-Old Program, we continue to guide through the Learning Without Tears (LWT) curriculum.  We have a strong emphasis on the foundational learning skills personalized for age appropriate development.

Potty Training: Potty training is a milestone we navigate together—with frequent bathroom trips, positive reinforcement , & open communication with parents for consistency between home and school. Through encouragement, routine, and trust we support each child’s transition from pull-ups to undies

We continue to provide daily updates through the daily reports, Brightwheel App, email correspondence, and in person updates. Every part of the day is an opportunity to grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity.
