Toddler programs at Preschools

Does anyone know of a program that will accept a 2 year old? I have called a few and they have to be at least 2 years 4 months old to be in the toddler program.

I would like to have Hayley interact with kids her own age but I don't want a Mommy & Me or a Gymboree program.

Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

ETA: forgot to mention I am in Suffolk County, in Centereach.

I think Maplewood School does. (Wantagh Ave between Sunrise & Merrick Rd) But I thought they were expensive.

Nursery School rates:
2 days/week $340/month
3 days/week $475/month
5 days/week $595/month

Do you have a Montessori near you?
I plan to send DD when she is 22 months (their toddler program starts at 2 but will take a little younger)...

I was just going to post the same question : )
Gavin, my 2 yr old, goes to Tutor Time 2 days a week-- but I am looking to get him into more of a preschool. I called a Montessori near me and they said he needed to be 3 and potty trained. I wish I could help more.

Thanks, I'll keep looking. If I find anything I'll let everyone know.

i just enrolled Bella who will be 2 in sept in a 2 year old program, an hour and a half 2 days a week (for the first few weeks she is only going once a week because we are in mommy and me) its $65 a month for one day or $125 for 2 days a week. I think its a little far for you to drive since you live in centereach, the preschool is in West babylon. If you have a YMCA near you check out their programs for 2's, you can also google search preschools in your area. Hope this helps, good luck!

My older son went to North Shore Montessori in Stony Brook at 2 years old.

My younger son will go to another Montessori school located in Smithtown in September. He is 2.

Other schools I know of that have 2 year old programs are:

Lilliput Nursery School in Commack (my son went there for the 3 year old class. We LOVED it!)

The Laurel Hill School in Setauket
All About Me Preschool in Selden
Miss Mella's Footsteps to Learning in Coram

The montessori I am sending my DD to starts at 18 months!!

Most temple/jcc programs start at 2 - and they take any kids regardless of religion. Maybe catholic schools are the same?
