Terrific 2’s Program
PASA's Terrific 2s program will likely be your child's first formal introduction to school and an environment outside of home with rules, structure, routines, and caregivers other than family members. Our Terrific 2s are a treasured part of our small school community where their natural creativity, curiosity, and charm can thrive! All 2s must be two years old by September 1st to begin the school year.
We have three options for our littlest friends.
The 2-day 2s program will meet on Tuesday/Thursday mornings.
The 3-day 2s program will meet on Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings.
The 5-day 2s program will meet Monday-Friday mornings.
Our 2s programs are in session from 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM.
Goals
Goals for students are focused on socialization, and learning how to appropriately participate in school life.
Joy
While we recognize that the preparation of children for today's kindergarten classroom is an important part of what we do, we also value the creativity, joy, freedom, and magic that can only be found in preschool, and endeavor to strike a balance each day between these goals.
Activities
Along with socialization, teachers expose students to a variety of activities which engage fine and gross motor skills, expressive and receptive language, and artistic and creative expression.
Learning
Each child is assessed in the following areas twice a year on a progress report:
• Social Emotional Goals
• Language Development (Expressive)
• Language Development (Receptive)
• Play
• Daily Routines
• Cognitive Awareness
Engaging their
growing curiosity
Each child is unique. No matter what the curriculum is, or the method of instruction, learning in a preschool setting occurs most effectively when a child has reached a developmental (psychological and physical) stage of readiness. That stage of readiness may or may not correspond to the child's chronological age. The program is at PASA is designed to offer a breadth of exposure to pre-academics, while respecting each child's developmental time table, personality, and special gifts.
Our goal at PASA is to provide an early childhood educational experience which encourages a partnership between home and school, and supports each child's social, emotional, and pre-academic growth and development. We endeavor to nurture and educate the whole child.
