Exploration. Expression. Early Independence.

At age two, children become more verbal, independent, and socially aware. In our PK2 class, we nurture this exciting stage with consistency, patience, and a developmentally rich environment that supports both emotional growth and emerging skills.

What Will Your Child Do?

Two-year-olds are full of energy and curiosity. They begin to form friendships, express feelings more clearly, and take pride in doing things for themselves. Language development soars, and children start stringing together sentences, naming feelings, and asking questions.

We view every challenge—whether it's learning to wait a turn or expressing frustration—as a learning opportunity, supporting children with empathy and redirection.

• Jewish Holidays: Children celebrate each holiday with developmentally appropriate projects, stories, food experiences, and songs.

 

• Brachos: Reciting simple blessings before snack and meals becomes more familiar and meaningful.
