The
Red Room
(Ages 18-24 Months)
Our red room is a
very fun loving room. There’s a maximum of 8 children in this class with two
teachers. They work a lot on potty training and other self help skills. They
also love to dance, their favorite song is “Shake your Sillies Out”
They also enjoy circle time when they learn about the days of the week, listen
to stories, sing songs and work on learning letters, numbers, shapes
and colors. There’s never a dull day in
the Red Room!!
