2 Year Olds

Our Two Year Old classes meet on Monday/Wednesday, Tuesday/Thursday, or Fridays. All classes are from 9:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Children must be 2 in order to enter class.

These classes are designed to introduce children to a structured environment but with ample opportunity for play. The focus is to provide chances to learn to play together as well as to to develop social and proactive pre-academic skills. These students are also exposed to letters, numbers, shapes and colors.

The learning experiences at The Preschool at Riva Trace are planned to help children move towards the objectives for their level. Throughout the year, we will use the curriculum to address each of these preschool objectives through various learning experiences. Children will be engaged in various activities to address their development intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, creatively, and spiritually.
