KIN THINK is where little minds get very busy. Designed especially for children 12–24 months, this playful, hands-on class introduces early literacy, math, problem-solving, building, and big ideas in ways that feel natural and exciting to a young toddler. Through The Stewart Method™, children begin exploring whole-word reading , seeing and recognizing meaningful words—including their own names—as language begins to come alive. In early math, we focus first on quantity before numerals , helping children understand what one, two, three and more actually mean before connecting those quantities to written numbers. Children build, stack, connect, sort, match and problem-solve using blocks, interlocking materials, puzzles and other carefully selected hands-on materials. These experiences strengthen spatial awareness, fine-motor coordination, concentration and early reasoning while giving children the freedom to experiment and discover. Our THINK curriculum also introduces a constantly growing world of knowledge—from shapes, colors and textures to animals, nature and simple science concepts. Books, music, movement and conversation are woven throughout so that learning remains joyful, social and developmentally appropriate. At this age, children are capable of absorbing an extraordinary amount. Our goal isn’t to push them ahead—it’s to meet their curiosity, keep up with them, and give them more to think about. Ages 12–24 months • Caregiver accompanied • Drop-in friendly
