Twos - Children's Depot

Our One year old program includes a weekly theme, and age appropriate activities to reinforce children's interests. Children at this age are actively seeking to acquire new language skills, so all activities include simple vocabulary and songs or chants with familiar tunes to use with them to promote language development. This room uses activities that promote independence and build self esteem such as mealtimes, art and freeplay. Learning centers are used in this room to provide opportunities for hands-on reinforcement of concepts and skills that have been introduced in a whole group setting. Because young children learn best through active exploration, and concrete experience, these centers are very important for each individual's growth.

Other areas in the school that are available to the children is the indoor mini gym, theater room, and covered play area outside.

The one's room is a classroom where children learn through love, physical interaction, positive affirmations, and the good example that their professional caregivers set.
