ADVENTURE SCHOOL
Our Play School Program is designed for toddlers 1-2 years old. Our high-quality Early Childhood staff will engage with your toddler to explore all five senses, learning to communicate verbally and visually, potty exploration, large and small motor growth, exploration, and desire to express themselves at higher developmental levels. We will continue to grow the foundation of living with Jesus as their foundation through song, play, stories, rhymes, puppet plays, and more.
