Our two year old classrooms foster students’ growing curiosity and social skills as children begin to interact more with their peers. Ms. Alex and Ms. Angelica encourage new friendships and participation in whole group activities, such as circle time and crafts. There is a new focus on building fine motor skills as children practice holding writing tools to scribble on paper and create images of lines. They begin to recognizing their names, identify colors, and practice simple counting. Children this age express pride and joy in their work, and often like to talk and share what they know.

Our three year old classrooms build on children’s natural enthusiasm for learning and longer attention spans to introduce new concepts and skills. Ms. Chrissy, Ms. Stefany and Ms. Jackie encourage the children to expand their vocabulary and their knowledge of letters and sounds, practice writing their names, and sharpen their fine motor skills. The children are given more independence to follow multi-step directions and use their growing confidence and curiosity to explore. The students personalities shine through as they identify their likes and dislikes, talk through their emotions, and solidify friendships through cooperative play.
