Our day also includes a meeting time when the children come together for a story, song and group activity. Snack time is preceded by a moment of silent reflection. In all but the worst weather, we play outside, which has a new playground installed in 2000, and a blacktop for riding tricycles and scooters. The Program for Twos The Twos share many of the activity centers of a preschool. Twos need to feel as if their environment is responsive and predictable.
Twos like to feel strong and in control of as much of their environment as practical.
They need the kind of structure that alternates quiet and active play, regulates the level of stimulation they are receiving and responds quickly and with a minimum of fuss to their frustration and fears. Teachers of twos learn to tune into each child's behavior because a great deal of their communication is still non-verbal. Ours is a small class of 8 students and 2 teachers. Our Preschool Room provides a mixed-age setting for our three and four year olds. The large classroom which easily converts into two smaller spaces allows time for both whole group activities and activities separated by age group.
