Nothing is more important to two-year-old children than themselves. At this age, they want to find out about themselves, what they want and don’t want. It is important to note that at this age, children are still very young and know little about the world they find themselves in. At the same time, they are true sponges absorbing everything around them. Knowing that this is a natural and crucial aspect of their development, children’s own experience, as little individuals, will guide our curriculum. The significant relationships in their lives, their routines, their favorite activities, songs, shows, places, food, books will dictate our themes. Children’s life stories will be our stories with the intention to make their learning meaningful and manageable.

Morning Time: Children choose from arts & crafts, sensory play, puzzles, magnets and more. Activities are curated to work on their fine motorskills. 

Circle & Story Time: Teachers read stories, sing songs, and introduce new concepts to the children based on weather & seasons, calendar, monthly themes. Circle time is an enjoyable time for toddlers as they develop language skills, express their thoughts, and learn to participate in a group.

Snack Time:  During this time, the children practice practical life skills of self-care, independence and feeding themselves. It is a wonderful time to promote social skills through eating and conversing with friends.

Outdoor Play, Gym or Music & Dance: Children play in our private playground – slide, sandbox, running & climbing. Other times children play in our expansive gym practicing their gross motor skills. Weekly music classes provide children with plenty of opportunities to perfect their movements and refine coordination.
