Two-Year-Olds

Two’s

Ebenezer’s Two-Year-Old program is designed to provide structure and build upon the natural independence of two year old children.

In addition to planning a safe and loving environment that supports exploration, the teacher will:

• Offer a variety of experiences using art materials and mediums such as crayons, paint, chalk, paper, glue
• Provide purposeful activities so that children can express themselves through music and movement
• Encourage imaginative play with props and dress up clothes
• Use a variety of open-ended materials for sensorimotor exploration which helps to improve motor skills
• Foster independent play that requires problem-solving and mastery
• Provide experiences and books to improve language/vocabulary through conversations and story telling
• Will set up opportunities for purposeful scribbling
• Offer real-life experiences with people and things to observe
• Provide a simplified preschool environment that is divided into appropriate areas for active learning
• Continue to encourage self-help skills
