Two-Year-Old Program

The beginnings of socialization skills are paramount to this program. In many cases this is a child's first experience away from home without their caregivers. Teachers welcome children into a cozy classroom
two to three mornings a week from 8:30-10:30/10:45-12:45 Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or 9:00-12:00 on Tuesday/Tuesday, which includes lunch. The day begins with a variety of enticing learning centers designed to foster our toddlers' creativity, curiosity and motor skills. Promoting early literacy in our print rich environment is an integral component of the class. Children are encouraged to experience both teacher-directed and child-centered activities. Most importantly, we gently guide our toddlers to feel comfortable playing cooperatively with a friend and enter small group activities. Snack time not only tickles our tummies, but is a wonderful venue to incorporate table manners and develop language skills. Our day ends on our state-of-the-art playground after approximately thirty minutes of gross motor activity, or after lunch.
