About The Program
This program exist to assist those children who just miss the cut off for preschool. We want to help our two year olds learn about routine, following directions, and interacting with other children their own age. Did you know that by the age of 2 Parents have 832 weeks until they turn 18?! This is why what we do now matters ALOT! Two year olds are in the "i can do it" phase, where they think like an artist and blend reality with imagination. They learn best through their senses and we want to make it our goal to develop their confidence. Our two year old program is designed to embrace their physical and cognitive needs through stories, songs, snacks, games, activities, and projects.
