Ladybug Class / Age 2

Schedule | Curriculum | Teacher Profiles | Tuition

In the Ladybug class children are introduced to school in a fun, loving and Christian environment. They are encouraged to use all areas of the classroom, Cognitive, Block, Dramatic play, Self-help Art and Reading/Books as they play. They have their own playground with structures and equipment geared for 2 to 3 year old children. Throughout the day we offer a variety of hands-on sensory and art activities. The children have one Circle Time a day that includes songs, movement, stories and learning concepts. One day a month the director takes over circle time for "Bible Time" where simple Bible lessons are told. As the youngest class at Little Angels, the Ladybug class focuses on social and emotional growth along with nurturing the development of each unique individual.
