Kids at Work PlayGroup! Gentle Separation Program for children ages 22 mos - 2.9 years
Here's how it works - We meet 2 times per week for 2 hours each day. Parents/Caregivers stay with children for the first couple of weeks, depending on individual children and family needs. When children are ready, we begin a nurturing separation program lead by our trained staff, who are hired with a minimum of a masters in early childhood education in progress. We will work with your family's childcare/sibling situation to create a transition that works for you and your child. Our experienced teachers combined with a consistent routine create an environment where young children develop confidence and an "I can do it!" attitude.
