Is Your 2-Year-Old Ready for More Than Toddler Care?
Somewhere between age two and a half and three, a lot of parents notice their child has outgrown the toddler room. They want to sit through a whole activity, follow directions with more than one step, and play alongside other kids instead of next to them. But full Preschool still feels like a stretch. That gap is exactly what Young Preschool Care in Northridge is built for.
At Strong Roots Preschool, this age group gets a classroom shaped around where they actually are developmentally, not where a toddler room or a four-year-old room would put them. The approach blends Montessori and Reggio Emilia methods, so children work with hands-on materials at their own pace while also building the group habits they'll need for Preschool.
Days include arts and crafts, math activities, chess, physical development, and a once-a-week, one-hour Armenian language class. Bible study is offered as one small part of the weekly rotation. Narine Mazmanyan, M.Ed. and the teaching team track each child's progress and talk with families about moving up to full Preschool once a child is ready, usually between three and three and a half.
