2-Year Old Class (18 months to 2 years)
Our nurturing environment provides the structure that allows the children to grow and learn while feeling safe and comfortable. Our kids are given daily opportunities to explore and learn through age appropriate toys and projects. Children in the this classroom are encouraged to try to use their words to express their needs and wants. The activities in the classroom are developed to create learning experiences and social experiences through play, projects, and activities.
3-Year Old Class
A child’s feeling of independence and social interaction with others is what this class is about. This class revolves around the children learning to help themselves and getting along with others. Children are encouraged to make choices for themselves, get along and play well with others as well as to listen and follow directions. The teacher leads the children in group activities, such as movement, story time, circle time and crafts. The children are encouraged to make friends, share and communicate with th children in their class.To prepare them for the next class up (4 year old class), they will work on their hand writing skills, colors, shapes and numbers as well as other things. This gives each teacher the opportunity to work one-on-one with each student.
