Ladybug Class / Age 2

Schedule | Curriculum | Teacher Profiles | Tuition

In the Ladybug Class, children are introduced to school in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. As the youngest class at Little Angels, the Ladybugs focuses on social and emotional growth, along with nurturing the development of each unique individual. Throughout the day we offer a variety of hands-on sensory and art activities. During free play, children are encouraged to explore all classroom areas: Cognitive, Block, Dramatic Play, Self-Help Art, and Library. We also have Circle Time daily, which includes songs, movement, stories, and learning concepts. One day a month, our director takes over Circle Time for "Bible Time," where simple, positive Bible stories are told. Our children spend a lot of time outdoors and they do so in a separate yard from our other classes, with structures and equipment geared for 2- to 3-year-old children. Our teachers will change diapers in this class and assist with potty training. You can see a sample daily schedule below.
