2's & Young 3's
Children in this class begin transitioning from toddlerhood into early preschool learning. They develop longer attention spans and increased curiosity about letters, numbers, and problem-solving activities. Our focus is on building early academic foundations through play, supporting potty training and independence, and strengthening social skills such as sharing and cooperative play. Structured routines and guided group experiences help children build confidence and self-control.
Early Literacy Awareness
We foster early literacy awareness by filling the environment with labeled pictures, books in the library, daily read-alouds with dramatic voices and puppets, songs/rhymes that play with sounds, and scribble stations where kids “sign” their drawings while teachers write their dictated words nearby.
Number Recognition
Early number sense at this age sparks curiosity about math, builds confidence with counting and quantities, and strongly predicts kindergarten math success and problem-solving skills that last through school.
Potty Training Readiness
Our staff watches for signs like staying dry longer or showing interest, introducing child-sized potties during diaper changes, setting regular “try the potty” times after meals/naps, using simple words for body cues, modeling in the bathroom, and praising all efforts to build confidence—no pressure, just consistency.
Cooperative Play
Children engage in cooperative play every day by gently guiding them from parallel play to teamwork through simple group games like parachute shakes (where everyone lifts together), turn-taking with big floor puzzles, building block towers as a team, or passing a hula hoop while holding hands—always modeling sharing, cheering each other, and celebrating group success.
