Our PreK 2 Year Old classes promote independence through child centered and teacher directed activities. Emphasis is directed toward self-care milestones – self feeding, toileting and hand washing, and helping with classroom tasks . Circle time engages children in calendar, weather, counting, story-time, songs, and patterns. Age appropriate activities promote taking turns, cooperation, sharing, and expressing feelings in an appropriate manner.
