Twos

2 years

In our 2-year-old program, your child will engage in learning activities that promote the five domains of learning and school readiness, including language and literacy development, cognitive and general knowledge, approaches toward learning, physical well-being and motor development, and social and emotional development.

To better prepare the children for preschool, we recognize all of their accomplishments and through the use of positive reinforcement, 2-year-olds take pride in their independence and ability to learn new things.
