Program Overview:
Our 2s program provides young children with their first structured social experience with peers and teachers. During this important stage, children begin developing essential social skills—such as sharing, taking turns, and making friends. Our nurturing teachers gently guide each child as they explore these new interactions, using their natural curiosity and excitement about school to create a positive and engaging learning environment.

Each day is centered around a carefully selected theme that guides all classroom activities. These themes may reflect a season, holiday, or focus on a fun and age-appropriate educational topic, such as farm animals, the five senses, or the stars and moon.

What to Expect:
Your child’s day begins with free play, in which they can choose from a variety of engaging activity areas designed to support early development:

  • Dramatic Play Area: Includes a kitchen with play food, a puppet theater, dress-up clothes, and dolls.
  • Sensory Table: Rotating materials such as sand, beans, floam, and more to encourage tactile exploration.
  • Small Manipulatives Area: Features puzzles, lacing cards, small blocks, and activities that build counting and color recognition skills.
  • Large Motor Play Area: Includes big blocks, a train set, cars, trucks, a barn, and a dollhouse—ideal for active, imaginative play.
  • Art Center: Stocked with markers, crayons, chalk, glue, paint, and play dough to spark creativity.

Children also begin learning how to transition from one activity to another, helping them become comfortable with routine and structure.

  • Circle Time: Includes stories and music, fingerplays and movement activities, theme discussions for the week, a simple Bible story, introduction to the letter of the week
  • Enrichment Activities: participate in hands-on art projects, enjoy special visits from Pastor Brian and other guests, choose their own books during independent reading time after snack, play outside in the play yard, explore movement in our full-sized gym with age-appropriate large motor activities

All of these experiences are carefully designed to help your child interact positively with peers and teachers, become comfortable in a structured setting, and most importantly, have fun while learning.
