Two Year Old
Our Two Year Old Program is offered T/TH from 8:30-11:45.
The Two Year Old Program at Our Savior offers a wide range of basic learning experiences.
The classroom is designed with learning centers, encouraging children to explore through language, art, blocks, manipulatives, dramatic play and science.
We use a curriculum developed with the curious toddler in mind, “High Reach.”
We encourage the development of language and motor skills through exciting monthly themes.
Simple games, songs, and free-form are just a few of the activities that enable each child to learn about the world first-hand.
Each week, art, small/large motor, language, music, and rhyme activities help engage and involve your two-year-old in new learning experiences.
