Two Fun

2020-2021 Program Overview

These parent and child classes introduce a fun and interactive way to learn through play based activities all with the trusted adult by their side.

10 week Sessions are offered in both the fall and winter semesters.
Child must be 2 by September 1, 2020. No waivers or exceptions.

Each session will includes:

• A weekly themed, hands-on art project
• Circle time led with several songs or finger plays and a story
• Snack
• Large motor time outside or in the gym
• Choice time with centers

Activities for this class are setup in centers so that the children are learning the preschool routine that our traditional Threes, Fours and Young Fives classrooms provide. The teacher will facilitate the class, giving the parent the lead in “teaching” their child through content geared for a 2-3 year old’s developmental level. Your child will be encouraged to participate in circle time and centers to ready them for independence in our three year old program.

LANGUAGE & LITERACY

SPIRITUAL / SOCIAL / EMOTIONAL
