Ducklings
(2-3 years)

Posted on June 6, 2014

Ducklings must be two before September 1^st. Teachers use a more hands-on style with our toddlers, whether it is concerning guidance and redirection, comfort, or assistance with skills. The Ducklings’ teachers take care of all their needs, including diapering, napping, and potty training. The Ducklings have a short circle time in the morning, involving board books, music and movement.

We know that our children are surrounded by friends and teachers that truly love and care about them. We love that our sons’ interests were incorporated into their day to day leaning. It has made going to school everyday exciting.

Words can’t begin to capture what a magical place this has been for my two sons. Lois, the director, has created a truly outstanding program that is Reggio Emilia based and encourages each child to pursue their passions and inspires amazing creativity.

Duck Pond feels like an extension of our family. The atmosphere that the teachers create is loving and nurturing. We know our kids are better people for having been there.

We have loved our time at the school. Our son has thrived and is leaving well prepared for kindergarten, as are all his classmates. The best part about the school is the strong community that Lois, the director, works at fostering.

If the wonder, joy and exuberance of childhood could be captured in a place, that place for us is Duck Pond. It’s a warm, caring and loving environment that we’ve found to be a perfect balance of structure and play.

Duck Pond has been magical. My children have developed socially and academically. Their creativity and curiosity have been nurtured, and they often astound me with the insight they show into how to behave towards each other and the world.

Kathleen M.

The curriculum is delivered in a very hands-on, individualized way, understanding that each child learns at a different pace. We love that the teachers are so engaged with the kids, helping them develop not only intellectually but emotionally and physically as well, with a strong focus on play and peer interaction.
