Two-year olds are terrific learners with lots of energy and an excitement to trying new things! A rapid increase in their ability to learn concepts and skills take place during this time and verbal skills are developing at a fast pace. We believe in starting an early phonics-based curriculum, which ensures a strong foundation in language skills. However, nurturing is still a primary need and nurturing and learning are provided in a balanced manner. Your child will experience God’s love through weekly Bible stories, and songs that will help your child understand God’s love.

Children take pride at this age in their new accomplishments and fill them with a desire to learn more. Vocabulary, coordination, intellectual thinking and social skills are all being developed at this stage. Children will be introduced to Early Language and Literacy, Writing (tracing) skills, Math concepts, Science and Social Studies. We will do this through play based learning. They will also have time to play, sing songs and play instruments. Bible time will be an important part of the school day. Your child will learn all they can about Jesus and God’s Word.
