Beginner (2-3 years)

Preschool Beginner (2-3 years)

The Links to Learning Beginner Program for ages 2-3 years expands on the foundation established in the Toddler Program. At this point, your child will begin experimenting, and interacting with other children and the environment. More routine and structure are introduced into the daily schedule. Your child will start to learn how to find uses for familiar objects, and how to explain everyday occurrences using simple reasoning.

At this point, we introduce a Spanish-language program. Our daily activities continue to reinforce age-appropriate social development.

Links to Learning

Language and Literacy:
Teachers begin to ask your child questions about the stories being read, and help build vocabulary by expanding on your child's answers.
           Mathematics:
Your child will begin to explore number sets. Teachers provide opportunities to experiment with textures, sort by colors and build reasoning skills. 
         
The World and Me:
Your child is learning to identify and verbalize wants and needs, and learning self-help skills and sharing. Teachers plan activities to encourage this growth into independence.		   Wellness:
Using various materials available in the classroom, your child will manipulate smaller pieces with purpose. The teacher will also provide opportunities to develop ball handling and body movement skills.
         
Music:
Your child will be given multiple opportunities to interact and respond with music. He or she will be asked to identify loud and soft sounds, sing familiar songs and purposely move to the music.
   Art:
Your child will explore colors and lines through both teacher-created art experiences and independent work, and try to draw pictures in response to a book being read or a story being told.
         
  Spanish:
An introduction to Spanish will be integrated into daily school and home activities, becoming gradually more complex. At this level, your child will be exposed to stories and activities.
