ALL BY MYSELF
This class is to help the child practice separation from their parent/caregivers while engaging them in one of their first classroom experiences. Socializing, learning to share, playing, coloring, and listening to stories will all be part of the program. The instructor will guide these children through fun activities that will help develop their independence. A great jump start on preschool preparation. If a child has trouble with separation, the parent may stay with the child to wean them into the program.
