Beginners (2-3 yrs)
Exploring, Learning, Growing
Our Beginner classroom is a supportive environment where two-year-olds begin to come into their own. We believe in empowering our students to become more self-reliant by fostering their independence and nurturing their growing sense of autonomy.
Our two-year-old students focus on developing important self-help skills, like dressing themselves, washing their hands, using eating utensils, and taking care of their basic needs. Your child will grow in confidence, one small accomplishment at a time.
Your child will also build vocabulary, explore shapes, sort colors, and create multi-sensory artwork. We encourage critical thinking by helping your child use simple reasoning to explain everyday occurrences.
