Two’s Year Olds

(2-3 year olds)

The two-year-old is the class of transition. We welcome you to the preschool world. Here teachers and children continue to talk, read and play together; however, cognitive concepts are stressed more prominently. Shapes, colors, numbers and beginning writing are introduced. Children take on helper roles as they become part of their classroom community and the need to be needed is met. Additionally, concepts of sharing and cooperative play are looked at in depth. The Frolicking Frogs is a room that creates an atmosphere of fun while promoting individual progress.
