PreschoolPreK-2
In our 2s Program, we help your child adjust to a classroom setting, learn how to play with others and improve communication skills.
2 year olds play alongside other children and develop awareness of their feelings. They engage in conversation, understand questions, and answer them and learn to demonstrate active listening.
They increase vocabulary and recognize that symbols have meaning. They participate in imitative reading and show interest in concepts such as matching and sorting.
Our teachers focus on helping the 2 year olds increase self-awareness and self-regulation, improved use of coping skills, how to interact with peers and adults, and how to share feelings. They also will begin showing improved hand-eye coordination.
Curriculum
Often children are in their first school setting at two. Emphasis is on building community in the classroom, learning to play together and share classroom resources. Cooperation is emphasized as children learn through play.
Children gain independence as they learn self-care skills such as putting on a coat, washing hands, feeding themselves, and toilet training.
Classroom activities include Circle Time, singing, time at the playground, arts and crafts, and storytime.
Activities are organized around weekly and monthly high-interest themes and include pre-literacy and computational thinking skills in age-appropriate ways. Themes include topics like All About Me, Community Helpers, Gardening and Plants, and Sea Life.
