TWOS PROGRAM

Small steps lead to big strides in the Turtle (Twos) classroom, for our youngest children, ages 2 to 3. Free exploration, open-ended activities are the key to growth and joy at this stage.

Within this environment, Turtle teachers patiently yet progressively cultivate social development, foster self-control, and initiate basic skill acquisition. We get to know the children and encourage their growth at their own pace. You will see amazing growth this year as kiddos become verbal and develop autonomy!

Washing hands, taking turns, cleaning up toys, recognizing emotions, imaginary play, care, empathy towards others, and, yes, toilet learning are all areas of focus in the Turtle class.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING ABOUT SJP

“As a dad, I wasn’t exactly sure what to make of preschool for our two-year-old. What I found was an amazing group of families, all woven together by their children with an abundance of care and love by the teachers. Everyone pitches in, we all have a great time, and the kids clearly love the results!”
