Terrific Twos

The Terrific Twos Program ( click her for supply list )

St. Catherine's two Year Old Program has been developed to give children a "head start into key developmental areas of learning. This program will begin to introduce the visual recognition, formation and phonetics of all letters in a creative and fun manner.

Our Twos are are full of exploration and fun.  We work with our friends on being away from "Mommy and Daddy" and on taking direction from their teachers.

The spiritual needs of the 2s will be accomplished through Christian prayers and songs in accordance with the Catholic faith.

Gross motor skills for the 2s are enhanced through a movement class, daily playground activities, and classroom games.  Manipulatives such as beads, puzzles, blocks, play dough, and writing materials will be used to develop the 2 yr old child's fine motor skills.

The two-year-old program will create a sense of security and independence by nurturing the emotional growth of each child in an environment other than home.

Finally the 2s curriculum will introduce the child to a variety of experiences that will stimulate cognitive development. We have a daily schedule with morning and afternoon circle time, thematic art projects, outdoor play, library visits and story time, movement, music, monthly color and shape highlights, manner of the month, and much much more.

Twos Time

This extra hour of class each day will include lunch time learning with our friends (Lunch is provided by parents), center time with puzzles, science, blocks, free art, books, playground, and more.  this hour will be a time of mixed older and younger twos with fun for all.

St. Catherine's Preschool is also very excited to extend our program to children ages 16 months and 23 months in the 2010-2011 school year.  This program will have a structured curriculum which will include art, music, movement, playground, outdoor classroom, and library.
