Children entering Tulip class learn how to interact with others and make new friends. Most importantly they will be exposed to a wide variety of experiences as they curiously explore their exciting new world, all the while being supported and encouraged by caring teachers.
As the children in this class become more independent, we tailor our program to coincide with their developing abilities and imagination. We increasingly use tools and materials such as glue, play-dough, scissors and paint to create masterpieces! Verbal communication significantly increases at this age and is stimulated through interacting with friends and learning new songs and rhymes.
As children become ready, we introduce number, color and alphabet concepts. We build speech and vocabulary day by day, and encourage children to become more vocal. Tulip children love to learn and are so eager at this age to see, touch and know more. Our teachers understand this and challenge children on a daily basis.
At our preschool, we use the Creative Curriculum for Twos because it is designed to support the unique way young children learn—through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships. As two-year-olds become more independent and curious about the world around them, our teachers provide hands-on experiences that encourage language development, early problem-solving, creativity, and social skills. Through a balance of child-led exploration and thoughtfully planned activities, children build confidence, develop self-help skills, and learn to cooperate with others in a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment.
