DESCRIPTION
The Older 2's program is specifically designed to support children in their journey of self-discovery and independence. With a focus on creating a nurturing environment, this program aims to foster autonomy, confidence, and collaboration among the children. Recognizing that play is a powerful tool for learning, the program structure places emphasis on promoting collaborative play skills and emotional self-regulation.
Through the Older 2's Program, children engage in a variety of activities that enhance their social-emotional development. These include group discussions, sharing time, and collaborative projects. Furthermore, the program incorporates learning centers that encompass music, art, outdoor play, and cognitive domains such as math and science.
Moreover, the Older 2's Program encourages children to express their individuality and creativity through both independent and group projects. This approach not only aids in the development of fine motor skills related to pre-writing but also fosters a sense of connection with their classmates and a feeling of belonging to a peer community.
