twos
Our 2’s program is designed for each child to transition from the sensory- motor world of toddlers to an increasingly social world. With the learning centers, the children will have the opportunity to move purposely, assert their independence and learn to communicate
with their peers.
Teachers use their talent and expertise to design, adapt and invent learning centers that best serve the children in the room. Activities are open ended and emphasize process over product.
The children use our outdoor playground for gross motor activities, and sensory activities. Neighborhood walks and outings to local playgrounds occur often, weather permitting.
Our staff are trained in the SPARK (Sports,Play and Active Recreation for Kids) program. The children participate in SPARK classes which are active and promote physical activity in ways that are creative and fun.
Learning centers include:
- Dramatic play – kitchen area, dress up clothes, dolls, puppets
- Table Toys/Manipulative's – pegs, table blocks, puzzles
- Sand/water play – sand and water toys
- Library – board books
- Blocks – cars, people, animals
- Art – crayons, washable markers, easel painting, stamps,
collage material, play dough
Group activities allow children to practice social skills such as cooperation, sharing and taking turns.
