Our Bluebirds and Sunflowers classrooms are designed for children who are at least 2 at the beginning of the school year, as well as younger 3-year-olds who may not be quite ready for a traditional 3-5 year-old preschool program. 

At TMO, children learn to feel comfortable separating from caregivers and develop  close, trusting relationships with teachers. During the year, children move toward collaborative play with peers and develop all the skills important to becoming a good friend. Pretend play takes off and is both encouraged and celebrated. Expressive language explodes and teachers marvel at the worlds that children create through their play.

Children in our classrooms get messy, dive in, explore with all of their senses, talk, read, create, pretend, run, jump, hop and joyfully make TMO their very own first community away from home. We are thrilled to be part of this journey with your child and your family.

We hope that in their time with us your child will gather all of the social, emotional and educational “tools”  they need to navigate their next classroom experience.  We develop enduring relationships with our families and cherish those connections and visits long after children have transitioned from TMO.
