PARENT & ME PROGRAM

Parent/Toddler Class

At TCP, we know how important the early years are. That’s why, for nearly 30 years, we’ve offered a special class just for toddlers who aren’t quite old enough for preschool but are at least 21 months old by September (turning 2 by the end of the year).

Our Curriculum

Our Parent/Toddler Program is a gentle and fun way to introduce your child to the preschool world. In this class, toddlers come with a parent, grandparent, or caregiver and explore together in a warm and welcoming classroom. Your little one will play, learn, sing, and discover while feeling safe and supported by both their grown-up and our loving teacher.

PARENT & ME TEACHER

Ms. Lynelle’s journey at TCP began like many others—she was a parent who just couldn’t get enough of the magic here! After three years, she officially joined our team, bringing with her a fun and unique background. She has an MFA, a Master’s belt in Kung Fu, and years of experience teaching parent/child martial arts classes.

 

She’s especially passionate about helping little ones explore how their bodies move and grow. At TCP, we call her our “gross motor skill momma” because she brings so much energy and movement into the classroom. Her teaching is hands-on, playful, and full of wonder.

 

For Ms. Lynelle, life is one big adventure, and she feels so lucky to help toddlers and their parents take their very first steps into the world together.

Our Class

Each class is small (just 16 children), so everyone gets lots of attention. We enjoy art, music, stories, movement, and group games — all made just right for toddlers. Parents stay during class and join in on the fun, from dancing and painting to sharing snack time. Families take turns bringing a healthy snack for the group.

Classes are offered in 10-week sessions during the school year, with occasional shorter sessions around holidays or special times in the calendar.
