There are two classes, the first Sunshine from 2 1/2 to about 3 1/2. The children then progress to Rainbow where the time is a little more structured. There is a craft area shared bewteen the two classes for messy play. This area also doubles as a cafe area for snack time. Children are encouraged to be as self-sufficient as possible although staff are always alert to their needs.
