WEE WONDER (3-12 MONTHS)

Our Wee Wonder program is a warm and nurturing classroom experience for infants 3-12 months old and their parent or caregiver. It offers developmentally appropriate activities designed to strengthen your child's social, emotional, language, and early literacy growth. Each class includes exploration with floor toys, tummy time, movement activities, circle time with songs, finger plays and baby sign language, a lullaby, and a good-bye with bubbles.

Registration for the 2022-23 school year is now open. Wee Wonder sessions are between 3-8 weeks in length; register for one at a time or for the full school year.

Small Wonder (1-2.5 Years)

For children ages 1-2.5 years and their trusted adult, this preschool-readiness program is designed to encourage active learning and meaningful engagement with others through a consistent classroom routine. Through teacher-directed and open-ended play experiences, children strengthen language, ignite curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and build confidence — all in a nurturing, lively and creative environment. Each class includes open play, circle time with songs, fingerplays and rhymes, snack and story time, gross motor play, dance and bubbles in the gym, sensory exploration, and a lullaby goodbye.

Registration is ongoing for the current session (February-June 2023) on both our Riverside Campus (175 Riverside Boulevard at 68th Street) and 94th Street Campus (705 Columbus Avenue).
