| Two Year Old Program - Age Two - Two Years Nine Months The Tiger Room |
| Our early two-year old program introduces children to a more structured learning environment which focuses on fostering self-confidence, independence, and appropriate peer interactions. Activities are varied, stimulating, and fun. Our goal is to plan age appropriate activities that focus on a child's developmental capabilities and interests. Children are grouped by age and maturity level to compliment each child's educational progress. A great deal of emphasis is placed on developing language through teacher interaction and modeling, reading stories, inviting dramatic play, and providing repetition games and singing. Children are introduced to counting, matching and categorizing games as well as cooking projects, gardening, art projects, and nature studies. As children mature and grow intellectually throughout the year, activities can become longer and more involved. Appropriate social interactions, taking turns, and sharing equipment and toys , are all encouraged as children learn to respect themselves and others. The pre-school program selected may be either part-time or full-time. A morning program 9-12:30p.m. is one option, and we also offer a 9-3p.m. program. Our two year old program has a one to six teacher to child ratio with a maximum enrollment of eighteen children. Extra-curricular enrichment classes are available in Spanish, Music, Art, or Dance four afternoons a week. Teachers prepare a "hot lunch" once a week as a fund raiser to help purchase special classroom materials outside of their regular budget. |
