Two days a week, two hours each day, six weeks
At KDO, our two-year-olds learn through touching, moving and repeating. Because toddlers are still building the focus on group circle time, we skip the formal sit-down and instead introduce one new themed activity each day. Children join in at their own pace. Some days they dive right in and other days they watch from the sidelines. Both are real learning. Our themes change throughout the session and every theme includes the same key areas of learning.
What your child will explore
Language and Literacy We read books connected to our weekly theme and introduce new vocabulary through stories, songs and conversation. Children practice naming colors, objects and favorite things. Hearing new words in a story and then seeing and touching the real thing helps them stick.
Sensory Play Little hands get busy! Children explore themed materials like playdough, water, and natural objects. Sensory play builds fine motor strength, sparks curiosity and gives children words for how things feel, smell and look.
Early Math We count together and use hands-on materials like puppets and themed objects to make numbers playful. At this age, math is about noticing "one, two, three" and connecting numbers to real things.
Music and Movement Every theme includes movement and music. Children sing, dance, and move their bodies through simple games, like picking up themed objects and placing them in a basket while a song plays. These activities build gross motor skills and give children a gentle way to practice taking turns.
Outdoor Play
Every day, children spend time outside, because fresh air and open space are just as important as anything we do indoors. Outdoor play gives two-year-olds room to run, climb, jump and explore at their own pace. Playing alongside friends in a bigger space helps them practice sharing, taking turns and having fun together.
