Preschool: Older Toddlers - Two's

The Program

18 Months – 2 Years

Energy, excitement, and movement: these are the qualities that define an older toddler and 2-year-old, and these are the qualities that are used in our program to power positive learning experiences. Our facility offers plenty of space to move and explore, and toddlers are provided nurturing guidance to develop physical skills and master emerging milestones. Toddlers will experience a stimulating classroom environment that will usher them into the independent 2-year-old stage of learning. The school is a playground for our active and energetic 2-year-olds. Bottling that enthusiasm into opportunities for growing, learning, building independence and achieving success is the hallmark of this unique educational program. We offer our 2-year-old learners interactive hands-on learning experiences through a variety of experiences including art, blocks, sand, and water and plenty of outdoor play on a playground specifically designed for them. Teachers love opportunities to spend one-on-one time with children as they explore their classrooms or outdoor playground. We welcome these active and busy learners to PCBC! “Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me. And anyone who welcomes me also welcomes the one who sent me.” Mark 9:36-37.

Enrichment Classes

CHAPEL

All children in the Preschool and older classes will participate in a weekly Chapel time where they listen to Bible stories based on the Day School’s monthly Bible verse/story, sing songs, and do other activities that teach the Bible lessons in simple, age-appropriate, and relevant ways.

MUSIC & MOVEMENT

The Preschool and older classes will visit the music and movement classroom once a week. During music, the teacher will introduce new songs through singing and playing simple instruments.

SPANISH

All children in the Preschool: Two’s and older classes will meet with the Spanish teacher once a week and be introduced to the basic concepts and phrases of the Spanish language.

LIBRARY

Each week the children in the Preschool: Three’s and older classes have a chance to visit the church’s library. We emphasize the importance of literacy and books within our program and value the opportunity to have a weekly visit to the library.

Brightwheel is our online communication and payment portal. The Day School teachers use Brightwheel to post updates and pictures from the day, as well to message parents individually as needed. The administration uses Brightwheel for school-wide communication and as an online payment portal for tuition and fee charges.
