TWOS Program
Our state-licensed, three-star program for 2 year old’s focuses on developing language, gross motor, fine motor, social, and self-help skills. Children are encouraged to explore the classroom and participate in age-appropriate activities. The day is scheduled so that there is adequate time for active play in the classroom, snacks, lunch, outdoor activities, and a rest/nap time. Teachers provide one-on-one interaction and activities with each child. Colors and shapes are introduced. Activities correlate with the Tennessee Early Learning Developmental Standards (TN-ELDS).
