2-3 Year Old Classrooms

Two-year-olds are active, affectionate and sometimes strong-willed. It is the time when they begin to notice and explore their world. Much of their learning occurs through play and imitation. Two-year-olds fluctuate between clinging to adults and wanting their own independence. Although primarily interested in adults, they begin to play interactively with other children. Two-year-olds begin to use their language to express their wants, needs and emotions.

The curriculum is designed to enhance the development of each individual child while challenging them to extend their skills and levels of understanding. Children this age fit into a wide range of developmental levels so we provide many open ended activities using loose parts to expand their imagination
