Encouraging independence and discovery through engaging activities and play

Age: 24 Months to 36 Months

In the Twos classes, teachers focus on guiding each child through potty training. Children are introduced to center play, helping them transition to the preschool program. The curriculum emphasizes vocabulary development, laying the groundwork for literacy skills. These activities foster learning and curiosity. Teachers ensure a supportive and engaging environment to promote independence and autonomy.

Building Confidence and Skills: The Benefits of a Two’s Program

At this pivotal stage of development, children between 24 and 36 months begin to assert their independence, explore boundaries, and absorb new information quickly. Our Twos Program supports this journey with key developmental benefits:

  • Toilet Training with Encouragement
    Teachers provide gentle, consistent support to help toddlers master potty training. This important milestone boosts a child’s confidence and builds self-care skills.
  • Expanding Language and Early Literacy
    With a focus on vocabulary growth, children are introduced to words, sounds, and storytelling, which form the foundation of reading readiness.
  • Hands-On Learning Through Play Centers
    Center-based activities introduce concepts like colors, shapes, numbers, and cooperation. These structured play zones help children learn while having fun.
  • Promoting Independence and Self-Regulation
    We encourage toddlers to complete simple tasks, make choices, and solve problems, helping them build autonomy and decision-making skills.
  • Preparation for Preschool Transition
    The curriculum gently bridges the gap between toddlerhood and preschool. Children become familiar with routines, group interaction, and classroom etiquette.

Our Approach: Supporting the “Can-Do” Spirit in Toddlers

Children in their twos are discovering their voice, preferences, and social identity. At our early childhood education in Pflugerville, Texas, we use a nurturing and intentional approach to help toddlers thrive:

  • Encouraging Independence Through Guided Play: From choosing their play centers to helping clean up, children are given age-appropriate responsibilities that strengthen their independence.
  • Positive Reinforcement & Emotional Guidance: We focus on teaching emotional expression, empathy, and self-control through everyday interactions and modeling respectful behavior.
  • Language-Rich Environment: Every moment is a chance to talk, name, describe, and encourage questions—building communication skills in a natural and engaging way.
