A two year old program can help to immerse children in a supportive learning environment at an early age. When children are two, everything around them is so exciting, They need to be able to touch and closely examine objects to find out how to use them. Words from songs begin to have meaning, communication further develops, and every experience is an adventure.
At Ivy Prep Early Learning Academy locations, we believe that this stage of development is wonderful. There is no better place to safely explore and develop than our 2 year old classrooms! Our teacher’s’ goal is to provide new opportunities for children to explore and develop learning habits while also providing them a safe environment in which to do so.
Since at this age interest can be lost as quickly as it is brought on, it is important to offer variety when it comes to toys, songs, games, and other activities. With this in mind, Our 2's program uses Creative Curriculum, offers 2 year olds additional enhancement programs.
Furthermore, our instructors understand that every children may learn in different ways. therefore, we aim to provide a number of different strategies to learning. For example, while one child may benefit from learning to count using a book about numbers, another child may learn about numbers by actively counting objects. This is why, our curriculum for the 2 year old preschool program strives to include a mixture of audio, visual, and physical learning strategies, this way all children may benefit and will meet learning goals.
While we understand children may learn differently, we do believe that with the right teaching strategies, all children should meet learning goals set at the beginning of the program. To keep track of these goals and accomplishments, our instructors keep a rubric of your child’s progress and activities.
These rubrics grade children on social development, learning adaptation, communication skills, physical health, and cognition. Providing a report and continuously tracking your child will not only help our instructors make sure they’re doing their jobs effectively but will keep you up to speed on your child’s progress in every aspect of learning.
Developing social cues and recognizing words is a big part of learning for a two-year-old. Our rubric includes some expectations for social development. Some ways we determine if children are effectively developing socially is to measure:
While a program for a two-year-old may differ much from an older child’s curriculum, it’s still important that the desire for learning is instilled at a young age. And, this is a big part of our two year old preschool program. So, we track how your child may react to learning and various methods which instill learning by measuring:
