Maximum Enrollment: 17 children - 3 teachers

 

Two’s are no longer toddlers, but, they are not yet preschoolers either. Many changes occur during the "terrific" two’s year. Most obvious is speech and language development which grows during the second year. This unique age group requires its own special grouping. With age-appropriate activities, equipment, materials, and expectations.

 

Our daily program concentrates on developing emergent skills. To prepare your child for our Preschool Unit during their third year. We focus on self-help skills. Such as using utensils, self-feeding, self-dressing, cleaning after themselves, and toilet learning.

 

Throughout the day we offer activities that promote small and large muscle coordination. Small muscle exercises include: using scissors, pasting, painting, puzzles, and play dough.

 

The indoor area has books, dramatic play, art, science, social studies, and music areas. Large muscle exercises take place indoors and outdoors.

 

We walk through the neighborhood and our outdoor playground provides opportunities for play. There is also an indoor area for play during inclement weather.

 

As two’s move into their third year, their attention span grows, their vocabulary becomes more elaborate, and their thought process becomes more complex. It’s now time to make the transition to the Preschool Unit.
