Two Year Old
Our Two Year Old Program is offered both Full Days 7am-6pm (see below) as well as Half Days 8:30-11:45am.
Class sessions are offered Monday-Friday, Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and Tuesday/Thursday.
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.”
The High Reach Curriculum fits nicely with the Core Knowledge curriculum that the children are introduced to in our Three Year Old Program.
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.

Full Day Program
Our Full Day Program at Our Savior Lutheran Ministries Early Childhood Development Center is a Christian based program designed for the working parent who needs care both before and after traditional Preschool. Drop in Care is offered on a limited basis. Please inquire with us.
All activities, curriculum, disciplinary actions, and procedures shall be consistent with the beliefs, philosophies and policies of the ECDC.
Our program runs from 7:00 a.m. — 6:00 p.m.
All full day children must bring a morning snack, and a lunch with a drink. An afternoon snack is provided.
Each child has a rest time beginning at 1:15 and ending at 2:45. Each child staying for nap is issued a bag with a sheet in which a blanket and lunch are to be brought to school and travels back and forth to school with your child.
All children enrolled in the full day program are required to bring a lunch. A microwave is available to warm up lunches if needed.
Our program ends promptly at 6:00 p.m. with a charge of $1.00 per minute due before they can return to school; if you are late more than 3 times in one year you risk your child being removed from the program.
A parent or designated responsible party listed on the emergency sheet must sign your child in when dropping off in the morning and must sign your child out before a child can leave for the day. No child will be released to any person under 18 years of age.
