2 Year Old Program
Our Two-year-old Program is designed to meet the individual needs of children age 2-3.
Communication
Parents know immediately what their kiddo is doing during the day. They don’t have to wait for the end of the day to find out what happened. They can connect to their account anytime using the daily connect app, whether they are at work, at home or away on a trip. It reduces the anxiety of being away from the child not knowing what’s happening. You can also use Daily Connect for free when browsing the web at http://www.dailyconnect.com. Classroom lesson plans and the daily menu are posted in each room.
Toilet Training
As in all areas of development, Safari’s philosophy of individualized care also applies to toilet training. When a two-year-old begins to show an interest, and has the verbal skills necessary to express their toileting needs, we work in collaboration with the child and their parents on toilet training. Our bathrooms are equipped with child-sized toilets for easier access for the children.
Curriculum
Our teacher provides a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and materials that are selected to emphasize concrete hands on learning and to achieve the following curriculum goals:
Our 2 Year Old Curriculum goals are as follows
-
To foster positive identity, and a sense of well-being
-
To allow two’s to feed themselves and encourage their development of self-help skills when ready
-
To develop social skills by encouraging language development and redirecting children to help guide them toward controlling their own behavior
-
To encourage the child to think, reason, question and experiment
-
To provide an appropriately challenging, safe environment for your child to explore and manipulate
-
To provide daily opportunities for exploratory activity indoors and outdoors
-
