Little Big Foot 

2-Year-Olds

​

Most two-year-olds are filled with energy and curiosity about the world around them. They’re also quickly developing their sense of independence. To help them achieve that independence, we have highly trained teachers that create a lesson plan geared towards childhood development rather than your child’s age, because all children, regardless of age, learn, grow, and develop at their own pace, and in their own unique way. Teachers help your child develop routines and offer a variety of activities designed to develop mental and physical coordination.

Focusing on:

• Language communication

• Sensory and science exploration

• Physical development and health

• Social and emotional development

• Early math building skills

Early Preschoolers also known as three year-old's love to explore through hands-on activities. And we’re pleased to offer that, with activities based on the early-childhood standards. Early Preschoolers require challenges, respond to motivation, and crave encouragement. To both engage and nurture your child, we provide a balance of freedom and instruction. The classroom is designed as a learning community, where your child not only builds skills vital to success in pre- kinder, but also gains respect for others, and a strong confidence in him or herself.

Throughout our safe learning environment, we offer a Learning Method with activities to develop literacy, mathematical thinking, problem-solving, science exploration, History exploration and creativity, focused on important foundational skills such as:

• Pre-reading skills

• Pre-writing

• Pre-math skills

• Physical/health coordination skills

• Social skills

• Science exploration

• History exploration

 

We also focus on essential life skills such as communication and self-regulation. Plus, children are routinely encouraged to:

• Take on challenges

• Develop their own learning goals

• See situations from different perspectives

• Make connections with one another.

Building on Preschool learning, PreK learning focuses on problem-solving, responsive listening and language usage, as well as social and collaborative skills, with specific lessons in:

• Reading (matching letters to sounds, recognizing familiar words)

• Writing (using letters and other symbols to create written messages)

• Math (simple addition and subtraction, sorting and classifying objects)

• Social skills (respecting others and working together)

• Physical skills with complex or combined movements (jumping rope, climbing)

• Vocabulary development (hearing and manipulating groups of sounds (rhymes and syllables) in spoken language)

• Phonemic awareness (hearing, identifying, and manipulating single sounds in spoken words to recognize similarities and differences and how sounds relate to each other)

• Print awareness (understanding the meaning of written language)

• Alphabet knowledge (recognizing that letters are their own unique symbols and each has its own name, sound, shape, and order within the alphabet)
