PROGRAMS
Welcome to the Two Year Old Class at The Village. This program will support your child's growth by providing an interactive setting where language skills expand rapidly. Our teachers are dedicated to providing quality and consistent care for our 2 Year Olds. Our 2 Year Old classes are limited to 6 students per teacher. This allows us to exceed state standards, offer a loving and nurturing environment to our students and allows our teachers to enjoy their work day. They provide a loving, nurturing and educational environment. To ensure a smooth transition from home to our program and back home again, our teacher and assistant teachers will communicate with you on an individual basis. The 2 Year Old room is a fun and cheerful place for children to spend their day. A warm and safe environment and positive interactions foster a child's sense of trust and self-esteem. Classroom space and materials are organized to support the child's need to explore, to discover, and to be independent. Children are encouraged to participate in daily routines to develop self-help skills and to feel good about themselves. Activities provide repeated opportunities with sensory experiences that help strengthen and develop large and small muscles, hand-eye coordination and promote thinking and communication skills. Teachers reinforce positive behaviors, set limits, and are consistently available to support the children's conflicting need for independence and comfort. 2 Year Olds move up to our 3 year old class when they near their 3rd birthday, are completely potty trained and can communicate clearly.
