PRE-K 2 PROGRAM GOALS
2 to 3 years

Our main goal is to provide 2 year olds with a comfortable, caring, and safe atmosphere. At this stage the development of language skills is very important. Two-year old children are still using their hands while learning to properly communicate with words. Our teachers use positive guidance for an effective learning that matches each child’s individual needs.

LANGUAGE ARTS: Expressive and receptive language experiences

1. To develop language skills.
2. To use circle time each morning to verbally communicate with the children and teach them new words through repetition, songs, rhymes and stories.
3. To introduce them to different concepts like colors, shapes and different objects.
4. To incorporate songs and easy rhymes to help develop their memory.

SOCIAL SKILLS:

1. To promote safe behavior.
2. To work on their independence and basic social skills.
3. To develop the child’s self-esteem, confidence and love of learning.
4. To explore and learn in a very enthusiastic and fun way to make it enjoyable for the children.
5. To emphasis on discipline, mainly achieved by following a routine.
6. To help each child become potty-trained by being consistent. This will be achieved with the help of our trained staff in the school and of the parents at home.
7. To encourage the development of a positive self-concept.

SENSORY-PERCEPTUAL: Visual and tactile experiences

1. To offer an environment that awakens the children’s curiosity and interest in the world that surrounds them. Two year olds love to explore, this is why their classroom, Alphabet Castle, is filled with toys in the dramatic play area, blocks, library and arts center.
