  • Class Overview

  • Toddler Early Learning Lab

    Toddlers learn to explore the classroom in a creative and artistic way. Teachers in the Toddler Early Learning Lab stimulate children’s thinking, imagination and curiosity with a variety of amazing art experiences. You may see children: painting on a drum, using paper mache, creating natural material dioramas, engaged in light and color play, growing grass in the sensory table, playing with dirt, exploring ice and rocks or exploring facial features with photo collage.

    • My son is in the Early Learning Lab at Union. I could not be more pleased with his teachers and their attentiveness to the children, communication with the parents and, most importantly, their ability to lead activities and engage this young age group! I absolutely love their “hands-on” approach to making learning and discovering fun (and sometimes messy!). This program continues to exceed my expectations!
