Our 2s Program was developed for children to create opportunities for
confidence building, developing trust, language development, motor skills and
social growth.
The two day per week, 2.5 hour program provides a wonderful, nurturing
environment. In the 2's program we provide experiences which stimulate all the
senses. We have a ratio of four teachers to sixteen Toddlers, in order to meet
each child's needs.
Our Toddler's are given the freedom to explore developmentally appropriate
activities inside and outside in our rural setting.
Children in our 2's program do not need to be potty trained. Parents and
caregivers are expected to be available in the trust building process. They are
also asked to participate in the closing circle time.
Our curriculum for children in the 3 year old class is designed to help children
understand, appreciate and live in their total environment, providing a solid
foundation for later school experiences. We attempt to find a balance of
directed and creative, physical and intellectual experiences for each child.
Teachers work with the children to foster their emotional growth and social
skills. Children are encouraged to talk with each other, express their needs
and frustration and discover ways to solve their conflicts in socially acceptable
ways.
The interests of the children are incorporated in developing unit themes which
include many curriculum areas including Science and Music.

Our new program is for 5-year-old children who have had a year in a 4s/pre-k
class and would benefit from an extra year of enrichment and individual
attention before entering Kindergarten. Because of California‘s late
Kindergarten cut-off dates, some children with late summer or fall birthdays
are simply not ready for the increasing academic rigors of Kindergarten.
Learning experiences in the Young 5s program will accommodate all learning
styles and abilities. Each child will feel competent and cared for. Children will:
• Help decide themes that the class will study
• Expand their knowledge of numeration, patterns and problem solving;
develop phonological and print awareness
• Gain conflict resolution and communication skills while developing
independence
• Increase their creativity and self-expression through book making, drama,
music, and open-ended art experiences
• Enjoy hands-on science experiments and projects
