Terrific Twos - 2 years (age as of September 1)
Terrific Twos

Parents and their children 21 months-2 years old Two year olds are growing at high speed. They require guidance and limits as they set out to try new things in their world. Our classrooms allow children to engage all of their senses as they sing, dance, create, build, problem solve, communicate and socialize. Children gain confidence, trust and independence as their parents separate for their facilitator-led parent education, which focuses on child development, parenting and parent-child relationship. You will leave with new ideas that reinforce the weekly classroom activities. 21 months-2 years - For children born Sept 1, 2019 - Nov 30, 2020.
