Twos Program (2-3yrs)
TOPS offers a T/Th, MWF, or M-F enrollment option. The focus of our Twos program is socialization, including relationships with teachers, parents and children, as we learn and play together. Children can be spontaneous in their choice of activities and have the opportunity to develop important life skills (attachment, collaboration, adaptability, self-regulation, belonging, and contribution) while actively learning through hands on experiences. Children gain confidence as they transition from: dependence to independence, home to school, trust in parents to trust in teachers.
