to practice sharing and development of social skills. Simple
songs and stories teach language usage. Scribbling with crayons
throwing balls and sand and water play increase gross and fine

Older 2 Year Olds
In the older 2 year old class
language development is expanded through the use of books and
songs. We encourage the use of complete sentences. Gross and
fine motor skills are increased through the use of block
building, climbing, dancing and riding a trike. Creative pretend
play is part of our everyday learning program and fun for all of
our 2 year olds. |

three-year old classroom the children begin to learn to
follow simple
directions, retell stories and repeat simple rhymes. They play
with balls and blocks and ride trikes. They are taught to print
their name. The children also enjoy creating their own

which are
incorporated into their daily classroom learning time. They are
given pencils and crayons to begin drawing and writing.
During the year they will
learn their name, age, their parent’s name and telephone number. The
children enjoy playing games to learn to count to 20 and name their colors. Group play
now
emphasizes taking turns and sharing. Fantasy play is
expressed through the family living and dramatic play center.
