The focus of this class is on social development and learning through play. Separating from parents, learning to take direction and being nurtured by people outside of the immediate family are important parts of early childhood. The building of trust and growing peer awareness are enhanced by a safe environment that provides a foundation for learning. There are two options for KDO. One is for children ages 18 months-3 years of age who are not fully potty trained. The other option is for children ages 3-6 who are potty trained and seeking an additional option.
