Two's Classrooms

TWOS

Young Boy Our Monarchs and Buckeyes classrooms are for children between the ages of 24 and 36 months. These classrooms maintain a 8:1 child to staff ratio.

The twos work on their emerging skills through a variety of age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity and a positive self-image. Our enthusiastic teachers teach music, poetry and art that stimulate the senses and challenge each child at his/her individual state of development. Through manipulative toys, imaginative play, and engaging activities, children are able to explore facets of their world in a safe, structured environment.

Our two year old classes utilize the HighReach Curriculum for Twos program. This program will help your child build vocabulary, phonological awareness, and problem solving while helping continue to develope small and large motor skills.

Teachers offer positive guidance as our twos move through each stage of development. The interactive curriculum allows teachers to spend quality learning time with each child while providing them with the love and care needed for proper development.

Hands on learning activities help your child develop beginning readiness skills. This program continues your child's exploration of the world of dramatic play, creative expression, art, music, socialization and many more important skills and concepts.

Playground time is an important part of a child's day. Our playgrounds are designed for young children with climbers, slides, bike paths, swings, and animals to help your child’s imagination soar! The children also participate in our vegetable garden and are encouraged to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The main skills your child will cover during the year are listed below.

Social/Emotional Development
Language Development
Small and Large Muscle Development
Phonological Awareness: Songs, Rhymes, & Fingerplays
