Curriculum

2 Year Old Nursery School Curriculum

The 2 Year Old Nursery School curriculum themes emerge spontaneously from the day-to- day interests which are typical to a 2 year olds’ world. The 2 Year Old classroom is very hands-on and teachers choose activities and themes to focus on based on what engages, motivates and interests their individual children, as well as allow many opportunities for fostering language development. Some topics our themes are based on are: feelings, personal needs, getting dressed/clothing, our bodies, food, senses, nature, shapes, letters, weather, seasons and holidays. In addition to weekly themes, the following monthly themes are also a part of our 2 Year Old Nursery School Program.
