The "New Twos" Summer Program is a wonderful first separation experience for your young two year old. Let our trained staff help you and your young toddler comfortably separate for the first time. Separation is handled individually for each child. There is a lot of outdoor playtime, water play, many messy art activities and the typical classroom activities appropriate for our youngest learners.
