INTRO TO SCHOOL: AGES 2 TO 3.5 YEARS OLD

A mix of guided activities with plenty of free discovery gently introduces the concept of structure.

Children practice sitting together at circle, communicating with each other and teachers, and participating in Montessori works both individually and within a group setting. Verbal and social skills are developing through play, song, and exploration.

A quick note on “specials” and “celebrations” for our Intro to School Friends: Intro to School is designed as a gentle introduction into school, and we like to keep this program very simple for our youngest friends! The River “specials” (yoga, baking, art, field trips) and some “celebrations” are focused for our older classrooms, but this happens in the following years at River School when friends are ready (and very excited!) for these new things!
