Two's - Program Details
Potty Training
Children do not need to be toilet trained to attend, however is is a part of our everyday curriculum and an important component to our program.
Separation & Attachment
Separation and attachment are experiences that happen all through our lives as human beings. Research and practice confirm that early healthy, strong attachments for young children help them form healthy, strong bonds again and again in life. Our program supports children and families in forming new attachments to other trusted persons - - to adults and maybe even little friends - - in an environment with play and discovery materials that invite curiosity, capture attention, stimulate learning, and encourage language.
Outside Play
A playground designed just for young children is right outside the classroom door.
Music
Included in our curriculum are weekly Music and Movement times with an experienced early childhood music and movement specialist. To support and extend children's music exploration, the classroom teacher and teaching assistants participate with their class.
Chapel
Learning about our best friend, Jesus, is an important part of our program. We participate in four Family Chapel Services during the school year ~ Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and at the end of the school year. We know that the youngest of children "catch" the feelings of worship best while seated in the laps of family.
