Program Details

Your child's environment has a large influence on her growth and development and her attitude toward learning.

Our Two's classroom is specially planned to create a sense of safety and security, while at the same time offering a stimulating learning environment that she just can't wait to jump into. Everything about it is designed to help your two-year-old become a self-confident, capable learner, and improve the amount and quality of interactions between the children in the class, the teachers and the materials.

Interest Centers

The Two's classroom is arranged into various Interest Centers, including:

• Book and Storytelling Center - flannel board, large selection of age-appropriate books, puppets and cozy setting with large pillows

At Children's Eye Level

The classroom is arranged with low shelves containing picture-labeled containers. Your child can easily help herself to the materials, and help put them back as well.

Décor and examples of environmental prints are placed at eye level for the children to see easily. And teachers display the children's artwork throughout the room as a reminder of what they've communicated through their art and to give them a sense of pride and accomplishment.
