purple & Yellow Room (Ages 2- young 3s)

This program is for children approximately two to three years of age. It is a bridge between

the toddler program and the Preschool department. The emphasis in this program is on

building each child's self-esteem through developing and encouraging autonomy. We also spend a lot of time on social skills and how to use 'our words' to communicate our needs and wants.

 

A gradual shift is taking place in children of this age group from the total dependency of

the toddler to the discovery of the separate identity of self. By encouraging each child

individually, and by facilitating situations for each child to do things on their own; we help

your children feel a sense of mastery and accomplishment over their environment. This sense

of mastery is a vital stepping stone in the process of developing the confidence to tackle

increasingly difficult tasks over time.
