Twos

Where big feelings meet big ideas, and self-regulation begins.

Whole Child® Academy
Twos
2 – 3 years

Twos are wired for autonomy. Our classrooms give them just enough scaffolding to practice choice, cooperation, and calming their own storms — the foundational skills of every future learner.

Curriculum

The six areas in action.

How every developmental area comes alive in the Twos classroom.

Cognitive

Matching games, colors, counting, and pretend play stretch early reasoning.

Social-Emotional

Turn-taking, waiting, and naming feelings become part of every day.

Language

Two- and three-word sentences grow into questions and stories.

Creative

Process art, dress-up, and dramatic play unlock imagination.

Physical

Jumping, kicking, and beginning scissor skills build coordination.

Health & Care

Potty training partnership with families is warm, patient, and successful.
