Inside Junior Preschool at Dolores Way

Junior Preschool at Dolores Way serves children 18 to 36 months. At this age, children are using more words, doing more for themselves, and learning how to be part of a group.

The room gives them many ways to practice. Children learn through play, guided exploration, and steady routines. Educators stay close to guide, observe, and help.

Executive function grows through small parts of the day. A child may stay with a task a little longer, follow a simple direction, move from one activity to the next, or try again when something does not work.

Materials are set out for hands-on use. Children can work on their own and with other children. Familiar routines help them know what comes next.

Strata is supported by the Fueling Brains learning framework. It helps educators plan experiences that build focus, language, social skills, problem-solving, and independence over time.

Families looking for preschool for an 18- to 36-month-old can visit Dolores Way and see the Junior Preschool room in person.
