Introduction to Preschool

2 Year Old Program

Yachad Kids Academy offers full-time and part-time Basic Preschool programs for our two year olds. Ratios are kept low, one teacher per 8 children. All meals are provided including breakfast, lunch, and two nutritious snacks. Parents are responsible for providing diapers, wipes, and pull-ups as your child potty trains. Our two year old program in increasingly structured to help your child learn socially and cognitively. Our theme based daily curriculum will include stories, singing, creative art, letters, numbers, months, picture cards, colors, and shapes. This program assists our two year olds in developing early language and communication skills as they are introduced to preschool. Special guests, such as musicians and artistic performers are also part of the two year old curriculum.

Introduction Preschool (9:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m.)

In an effort to prepare our two year olds for their preschool years, we try to break up their morning routines into small scheduled increments. Circle time, art time, and story time are integral parts of their schedule as well as singing, letters, counting, colors, and shapes. During this time a healthy snack is offered and outdoor playtime is available.

Lunch-Nap (12:30pm- 3:00pm)

As noon approaches, our little ones grow hungry and tired. Our meals are always prepared to be both balanced and nutritious. After filling their bellies, its time to rest. Each child will be able to nap on their individual cots for 2-3 hours.
