Imagineers (2 year olds)

preschool

It’s an incredible odyssey for a two year old. They’ve learned to express themselves in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible just six months ago. Their mental curiosity is boundless. And both their sense of creativity and their self esteem has been molded like a piece of clay. But their next challenge still lies ahead of them. Preschool. And that’s an adjustment that can be difficult to make. And it certainly isn’t always smooth sailing. But our Imagineers program can guide them there, navigated by patience and understanding. The program includes:

​

  • Our Creative Curriculum® program for Preschool. As part of the foundation for our classroom environment and all lesson plans, children learn through discovery and exploration with an emphasis on stronger self esteem and social skills. In addition, it offers daily opportunities for teachers to individualize plans, creating a program that is flexible, creative and never stale or boring.

 

  • The Gospel Project. Our introductory biblical curriculum, combining interactive songs of worship, biblical stories and hands-on activities designed to instill a deeper understanding of the gospels in children

 

  • Personalized activities designed to boost self-certainty and confidence

 

  • Hands-on activities encouraging creativity, exploration and problem solving

 

You’ll find some of the basic milestones we use to assess developmental readiness below. Please note that all children progress at their own pace. A two year old lagging behind in any of these areas is not necessarily a cause for concern.
