TWO-YEAR-OLD's
Welcome to the 2-year-old program at Living Waters Children's Center, where we create a nurturing and engaging environment for your little ones to thrive and grow. Our faith-based program is designed to meet the developmental needs of 2-year-olds as they explore, learn, and discover the wonders of the world around them. We believe that each child is a precious gift from God, and we strive to provide a loving and Christ-centered foundation for their early years.
OUR APPROACH
LOVING CARE
Our caring and experienced teachers provide a warm and supportive environment where toddlers feel secure, loved, and valued. We understand the importance of building strong relationships with each child, promoting a sense of trust and belonging.
AGE APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage toddlers' natural curiosity and promote their overall development. We offer a balanced blend of structured activities and free play, allowing children to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace.
CHRISTIAN VALUES
We integrate biblical teachings into our daily interactions and activities, helping toddlers develop a foundation of faith. Through stories, songs, and prayers, we teach them about God's love, kindness, and the importance of treating others with compassion.
SOCIAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Toddlers are encouraged to interact with their peers, building their social skills through play, sharing, and cooperative activities. Our teachers facilitate positive social interactions, teaching important values like empathy, respect, and friendship.
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
Our program includes age-appropriate activities that promote cognitive growth and critical thinking skills. From puzzles and matching games to early literacy and numeracy activities, we lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning.
GROSS & FINE MOTOR SKILLS
We provide opportunities for toddlers to develop their gross motor skills through outdoor play, movement activities, and games. Fine motor skills are nurtured through art projects, sensory play, and hands-on manipulatives
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
CIRCLE TIME
Toddlers participate in interactive circle time sessions, where they engage in songs, stories, and group activities that promote language development, listening skills, and following directions.
CREATIVE EXPRESSION
We encourage toddlers to express their creativity through art, music, and imaginative play. These activities help foster their self-expression, problem-solving abilities, and cognitive growth.
OUTDOOR EXPLORATION
Toddlers have daily opportunities for outdoor play, where they can develop their gross motor skills, engage in physical activity, and connect with nature. We have a secure outdoor play area where they can run, climb, and explore in a safe environment.
SNACK TIME
We provide healthy snacks that are nutritious and age-appropriate, promoting good eating habits and fostering independence as toddlers learn to feed themselves.
PARENT PARTNERSHIP
We believe that strong collaboration between parents and teachers is essential for a child's growth and development. We maintain open lines of communication, providing regular updates on your child's progress and achievements. We also welcome parent involvement in our classroom activities, celebrations, and special events, fostering a sense of community and shared values.
