Our Curriculum Encourages the Cognitive, Social, Creative and Physical Growth of Your Child

Terrific Twos

We offer two-day (Tuesday/Thursday) classes and three-day (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) classes for the littlest birds in our nest, emphasizing play and social interaction, with hours of 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.  The Terrific Twos program provides the children the opportunity to explore and foster independence in a nurturing environment. The class also provides the child with the opportunity to develop cognitively, socially, creatively,  physically, and spiritually, with an emphasis on play and socialization. The twos curriculum is centered on a monthly theme, and the teachers help the children begin to recognize colors and shapes. As the children explore and create they develop language, listening, and large and small motor skills. Art projects, story-time, finger-plays, music, outside play, and movement are all incorporated into the curriculum. Chapel and music class is provided on a weekly basis.

We introduce the numbers 1-10, we teach the children how to recognize their names, and continue to work on color and shape recognition.
